Total ATP produced in glycolysis under anaerobic condition is?
- A.
0
- B.
2
- C.
4
- D.
8
Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
During glycolysis under anaerobic conditions, a total of 2 ATP molecules are produced. This occurs through substrate-level phosphorylation, where 2 ATP molecules are generated directly from the breakdown of glucose. However, it should be noted that in the absence of oxygen, pyruvate cannot enter the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in a lower overall ATP yield compared to aerobic conditions.Rate this question:

Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of?
- A.
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
- B.
Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
- C.
thiokinase
- D.
Succinate dehydrogenase.
Correct Answer
D. Succinate dehydrogenase.Explanation
Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of an enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding and inhibiting the enzyme's activity. In this case, malonate competes with succinate for binding to succinate dehydrogenase, thereby inhibiting its function. Isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and thiokinase are not affected by malonate.Rate this question:

Pyruvate can be directly converted to A/E.
- A.
acetyl coA
- B.
Alanine
- C.
lactate
- D.
Phosphoenolpyruvate.
Correct Answer
C. lactateExplanation
Pyruvate can be directly converted to lactate through a process called lactate fermentation. This occurs when there is an insufficient supply of oxygen in the cell, leading to the conversion of pyruvate to lactate by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. This process helps to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen. Additionally, lactate can be further converted back to pyruvate in the liver through a process called the Cori cycle. Therefore, lactate is a valid option for the direct conversion of pyruvate.Rate this question:
