Which of the following does NOT apply to the reaction catalyzed by the
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex? - Each intermediate in the five step reaction
is able to diffuse to the next active site in a sequential manner.
Which of the following enzymes catalyzes a reaction of the citric acid cycle that
does NOT produce reduced electron carriers? - Succinyl-CoA synthetase
All of the enzymes of the citric acid cycle are located in the mitochondrion. -
True
The citric acid cycle is classed as a reductive pathway as it produces reduced
electron carriers. - False
Acetyl CoA is a feed forward activator of the enzyme ________ ensuring
sufficient oxaloacetate for the citric acid cycle to continue. - Pyruvate
carboxylase
Taking one mole of glucose through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
generates: - 6C02, 10 NADH/H+, 2FADH2 and 4 ATP.
ATP synthase can produce ATP using as a direct energy source: - Energy from a
proton gradient established across the inner mitochondrial membrane
Which of the following is correct concerning the mitochondrial ATP synthase? -
It catalyzes ATP synthesis by a rotational catalysts mechanism
, During oxidative phosphorylation, the proton motive force that is generated by
electron transport is used to: - drive the synthesis of ATP as protons flow
passively back into the matrix through a proton pore assiciated with ATP
synthase
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
-All of the protein complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain are bound
in the inner mitochondrial membrane
-Cytochrome c and coenzyme Q are both soluble electron carriers that are
loosely attached to the outside of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
-Oxygen is reduced to water at complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory
chain.
-During electron transport protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial
membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space. - Cytochrome c and
