The three boxes in this diagram represent the three major biosynthetic pathways in aerobic respiration. Arrows represent net reactants or products.
Arrows numbered 4,8,12 can all be
(b)
Consider the steps of glycolysis given in the diagram:
What is true about reaction 1 ?
I. The reaction is a key regulatory point and is also the rate-limiting step.
II. The reaction is freely reversible.
(a)
❌ False
This step is not reversible under normal cellular conditions.
It is a committed step in glycolysis — meaning once this occurs, the glucose is committed to being broken down for energy.
The overall goal of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport system is the formation of:
(a)
Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires :-
(d)
Which of these statements is incorrect?
(d)
The incorrect statement is:-
4. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the outer membrane. This process involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase complexes, which are embedded in the inner membrane. The inner membrane’s impermeability to most ions allows for the establishment of a proton gradient essential for ATP synthesis.
Which of the following yield maximum energy:-
(b)
In which one of the following do the two names refer to one and the same thing :-
(b)
When an electron is shifted to a more electronegative atom, its potential energy:
(b)
The number of molecules of carbon dioxide produced by three turns of the Krebs cycle would be:
(b)
One turns produce 2 molecules of \( \mathrm{CO}_2 \)
Then three turns will produce 6 molecules of \( \mathrm{CO}_2 \)
The correct sequence of electron flow during aerobic respiration would be:
(b)
Food → NADH: Energy-rich molecules from food (like glucose) are oxidized during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, producing NADH by transferring electrons to NAD⁺.
NADH → Electron Transport Chain (ETC): NADH donates electrons to the ETC, a series of protein complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. As electrons pass through these complexes, protons are pumped across the membrane, creating a proton gradient.
Electron Transport Chain → Oxygen: Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor at the end of the ETC, combining with electrons and protons to form water. This step is crucial for the continuation of the ETC and ATP production.
Electron is donated to the mitochondrial ETC at the lowest energy level by:
(d)
When electron pass downhill in the ETC, the energy released is used to pump protons into:
(d)
When electrons pass “downhill” through the electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria, the energy released is used to pump protons (H⁺ ions) from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space. This process creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is essential for ATP synthesis.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
4. Mitochondrial intermembrane space
This proton gradient, known as the proton motive force, drives protons back into the matrix through ATP synthase, facilitating the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate .
ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria is directly driven by:
(d)
ATP synthase is located in the mitochondrial:
(d)
Let us say there are 30 NADH and \( \mathrm{FADH}_2 \) in a mitochondrion. What is the maximum number of ATP generated if all dinucleotides are used in chemiosmosis?
(c)
One NADH will produce 3 ATP and one \( \mathrm{FADH}_2 \) will produce 2 ATP
Chemiosmosis is coupled to energy storage by:
(d)
Ubiquinone is:
(d)
A multienzyme complex amongst the following would be:
(d)
Explanation of Other Options:
Sucrase: This is a single enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. It is not a multienzyme complex.
NAD⁺: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a coenzyme involved in redox reactions. It is not an enzyme, nor a multienzyme complex.
Hexokinase: This is a single enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate in the first step of glycolysis. It is not a multienzyme complex.
All the following will normally occur during the electron flow in ETS in mitochondria except:
(b)
Direct use of oxygen is in:
(d)
In the ETS in mitochondria, identify the product that is not correctly matched with its number:
(c)
. While the exact number of ATP molecules produced per glucose molecule can vary slightly depending on factors like the efficiency of the process and the availability of oxygen, the typical yield is closer to 10-12 ATP per glucose molecule, not 26. Therefore, “ATP=26” is the incorrect pairing.
Fats and proteins can also provide us energy. For this to happen:
(c)
Maximum energy can be released during the oxidation of:
