The final electron acceptor of election transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is?
-
Oxygen
-
Water
-
NAD+
-
Pyruvate
Correct Answer
A. OxygenExplanation
Oxygen is the correct answer because in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation, oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. During this process, electrons are transferred through a series of protein complexes, ultimately leading to the reduction of oxygen to water. This electron transfer generates a proton gradient, which is used to produce ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, oxygen is essential for the efficient production of ATP in aerobic respiration.Rate this question:

The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by:
-
Election transport
-
Substrate - level phosphorylation
-
Photophosphorylation
-
Chemiosmosis
Correct Answer
A. Substrate - level phosphorylationExplanation
Substrate-level phosphorylation is the correct answer because it refers to the process of ATP synthesis where a high-energy phosphate group is directly transferred from a substrate molecule to ADP, forming ATP. In glycolysis, ATP is generated through substrate-level phosphorylation when a phosphate group is transferred from a substrate molecule to ADP, producing ATP. This process does not involve the electron transport chain, photophosphorylation, or chemiosmosis.Rate this question:

Which process in eukaryotic cells will proceed normally whether oxygen is present or absent?
-
Electron transport
-
Glycolysis
-
Chemiosmosis
-
The citric acid cycle
Correct Answer
A. GlycolysisExplanation
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is the first step in cellular respiration and can proceed whether oxygen is present or absent. During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. This process is anaerobic, meaning it does not require oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, the pyruvate can then undergo fermentation to produce additional ATP. Therefore, glycolysis is the only process listed that can proceed normally regardless of the presence of oxygen.Rate this question:

Substrate - level phosphorylation accounts for approximately what percentage of the ATP formed by the reactions of glycolysis?
-
0%
-
2%
-
38%
-
100%
Correct Answer
A. 100%Explanation
Substrate-level phosphorylation refers to the direct transfer of a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP, resulting in the formation of ATP. In the case of glycolysis, substrate-level phosphorylation occurs twice, leading to the production of a total of 4 ATP molecules. Since glycolysis is the only pathway mentioned in the question, it can be inferred that all of the ATP formed by the reactions of glycolysis is through substrate-level phosphorylation. Therefore, the correct answer is 100%.Rate this question:

-
Oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA
Correct Answer
A. The citric acid cycleExplanation
Most of the CO2 from the catabolism of glucose is released during the citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells. During this process, acetyl-CoA, which is derived from the oxidation of pyruvate, enters the cycle and undergoes a series of reactions that result in the production of CO2 as a waste product. This CO2 is then released from the cell as a byproduct of cellular respiration.Rate this question:

If glucose is the sole energy source, what function of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is the generated only by the reactions involved in oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA?
-
1/6
-
1/3
-
2/3
-
All of it
Correct Answer
A. 1/3Explanation
The carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated only by the reactions involved in the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA. This process occurs during the breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria through a series of reactions known as the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. During this cycle, pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Since glucose is the sole energy source and all the carbon dioxide exhaled is generated through this specific reaction, the fraction of carbon dioxide exhaled by animals that is generated by the oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is 1/3.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is formed by the removal of a CO2 from a molecule of pyruvate?
-
ATP
-
Acetyl CoA
-
Water
-
Citrate
Correct Answer
A. Acetyl CoAExplanation
Acetyl CoA is formed by the removal of a CO2 from a molecule of pyruvate. Pyruvate is a three-carbon molecule, and when one molecule of CO2 is removed from it, it forms a two-carbon molecule called acetyl CoA. This process occurs during the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA in the presence of an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase. Acetyl CoA is an important molecule in cellular respiration as it enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy in the form of ATP.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. The citric acid cycleExplanation
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. During this cycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) is released as a byproduct of the breakdown of glucose and other molecules. This process occurs after glycolysis and before the electron transport chain. Therefore, the citric acid cycle is the main stage where most of the CO2 from catabolism is released.Rate this question:

During cellular respiration, acetyl CoA accumulates in which location?
-
Cytosol
-
Mitochondrial other membrane
-
Mitochondrial inner membrane
-
Mitochondrial matrix
Correct Answer
A. Mitochondrial matrixExplanation
During cellular respiration, acetyl CoA accumulates in the mitochondrial matrix. This is because acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria from the breakdown of pyruvate during the process of pyruvate decarboxylation. Acetyl CoA then enters the citric acid cycle, which takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. This cycle further breaks down acetyl CoA to produce energy in the form of ATP. Therefore, the mitochondrial matrix is the location where acetyl CoA accumulates during cellular respiration.Rate this question:

-
Reduction of NAD+ to NADH
Correct Answer
A. Oxidative phosphorylationExplanation
Oxidative phosphorylation is the process driven by chemiosmosis. Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, which creates a gradient of protons. This proton gradient is then used by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria and is the main source of ATP production in aerobic respiration.Rate this question:
