All of these answers are true
- 1. For each of the products, identify the phase of aerobic respiration where these molecules will enter the process. a. glycerol b. fatty acids c. amino acids 2. predict the number of ATP molecules that could be produced from one glucose molecule if oxygen was not available.Why cannot gluconeogenesis and glycolysis be active at the same time? a. False! Gluconeogenesis starts in mitochondria, glycolysis in cytoplasm, so they can be active at the same time! b. True! Gluconeogenesis and Glycolysis use the same reversible enzyme, so these enzymes cannot support both reactions. c. False! Gluconeogensis uses bypasses, so that's why both pathways can be active at the same time. d. True! Gluconeogensis makes glucose, glycolysis breaks glucose. The purpose of both enzymes is clearly opposed. e. False! Gluconeogenesis is in the liver, glycolysis is not - it's in the muscle, so a different organ.A. What is substrate level phosphorylation. B. Although oxygen does not participate directly in the citric acid cycle , the cycle only operates when oxygen is present. Why is this so so ?
