| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Electron transport in mitochondria | provides energy to create a proton gradient across the inner membrane. |
| Because NADH generated in the cytosol cannot enter the mitochondrion, electrons and protons from the NADH in brain cells are transferred into the mitochondrion by __________. | glycerol phosphate electron shuttle |
| ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation in animal cells takes place in the | mitochondrial matrix, next to the mitochondrial inner membrane. |
| The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A | requires the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase is a decarboxylation reaction is an oxidation reaction is highly exergonic |
| As a result of glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle, only a small portion of the energy of glucose has been converted to ATP. At this point, the majority of the usable energy is contained in: | NADH and FADH2 |
| Cyanide blocks the electron transport system by: | binding to cytochrome c oxidase |
| The electrons generated from the Krebs cycle are transferred to ____________ and then are shuttled to _______________ that serves as final acceptor. | NAD+/oxygen |
| Which molecule binds to acetyl coenzyme A to form a six-carbon sugar in the beginning of the TCA Cycle? | oxaloacetate |
| In the electron transport, which respiratory complex is NOT involved in the flow of electrons from NADH? | complex II |
| ATPs are synthesized in glycolysis and the TCA cycle by: | substrate-level phosphorylation |
| Most of the ATP produced in cellular respiration comes from: | oxidation of NADH |
| What is the "coupler" between the electron transport system and the ATP synthesis | A proton gradient that accumulated protons in the inner membrane space |
| In aerobic cellular respiration, __________ is oxidized and __________ is reduced. | glucose, oxygen |
| The electrons stripped from glucose in cellular respiration end up in _____. | water |
| During ATP synthesis, protons move down their electrochemical gradient through | the Fo complex of ATP synthase |
| The movement of protons through ATP synthase occurs from the | intermembrane space to the matrix |
| Synthesis of ATP via a proton gradient is called | chemiosmosis. |
| After completely breaking down a single molecule of glucose through glycolysis and cellular respiration, how many more ATP molecules does a cell in the skeletal muscle have? | 36 |
| In an experiment, mice were fed glucose containing a radioactive carbon atom at position 1. This atom was eventually found in: | carbon dioxide |
| The sequential process of fatty acid catabolism to acetyl CoA is | beta-oxidation |
