- The liver, but not the brain or muscle cells, has the capacity to supply free glucose to the blood. Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is the substrate for pyruvate dehydrogenase? a. pyruvic acid b. water c. hydrogen d. coenzyme Aarrow_forward1. Identify the chemical reactions and coenzymes used in each step of glycolysis. 2. In which steps are ATP used to activate the process?arrow_forward
- Which of these reactions take place in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration? A. glycolysis B. citric acid cycle C. electron-transport chain D. acetyl-CoA formation E. all of the abovearrow_forwardEnergy from the breakdown of citrate (formed from acetyl groups) is captured by what compound in steps 3, 4, and 8 of the citric acid cycle?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide you breathe out comes from A. glycolysis. B. the electron-transport chain. C. anaerobic respiration. D. the food you eat.arrow_forward
- What metabolic intermediate is formed from the carbon skeleton of each amino acid? a. phenylalaninec. asparagine b. glutamic acidd. glycinearrow_forwardHow many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made per glucose put in to glycolysis? How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made per pyruvate put in to the Krebs Cycle? How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made by the Krebs Cycle per glucose consumed by the organism? How many electron carrier molecules in total (both NADH and FADH₂) have been made from a single glucose after both glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle? How many electrons are being carried from glucose at this point (Hint: 2 per molecule)?arrow_forwardIn the electron transport chain, the hydrogen ions enter the inner compartment of mitochondria through special channels formed by A. ATP synthase. B. coenzyme A. C. acetyl CoA. D. oxygen.arrow_forward
- Glycolysis is the first step in the oxidation of fatty acids to produce energy. A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylationarrow_forwardCitric acid cycle intermediates are replenished by anapleurotic reactions. List any two (2) citric acid cycle intermediates and the pathway(s) that replenish them...arrow_forward
