Question

which statements are False 

**a.** In the TCA Cycle, 3 molecules of NADH are produced per molecule of Acetyl-CoA oxidized.

**b.** Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows:
- Fructose-6-phosphate (1.0 mM)
- Fructose-(1-6)-bisphosphate (10.0 mM)
- AMP (0.1 mM)
- ADP (0.5 mM)
- ATP (5.0 mM)
- Pi (10.0 mM)

Under these conditions, the Phosphofructokinase reaction in muscle is more exergonic than under standard conditions.

**c.** The E₂ component of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex binds NAD⁺ in its active site.

**d.** If ¹⁴CO₂ was bubbled through a suspension of liver cells undergoing gluconeogenesis from lactate to glucose, carbons 1 and 6 of glucose would be radioactive.

**e.** When Acetyl-CoA levels exceed the Oxaloacetate supply, allosteric activation of Pyruvate Carboxylase by Acetyl-CoA raises Oxaloacetate levels for condensation with Acetyl-CoA to form Citrate.

**f.** The carbon atom of the -COO group attached to the keto carbon of Oxaloacetate is released as carbon dioxide in the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase reaction.

**g.** The two electrons derived from the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex come from dihydrolipoic acid.

**h.** The reaction of Malate oxidation to Oxaloacetate occurs because Oxaloacetate is used in the next reaction, which has a negative ΔG.

**i.** The only reaction in the Citric Acid Cycle that provides substrate-level phosphorylation is catalyzed by Succinyl CoA Synthetase.
