The condensation reaction catalyzed by ß-ketoacyl-ACP synthase synthesizes a four-carbon unit by combining a two-carbon
unit and a three-carbon unit, with the release of CO₂.
What is the thermodynamic advantage of this process over one that simply combines two two-carbon units?
The reaction is reversible and does not require the input of ATP.
The exergonic release of CO₂ drives the irreversible reaction in the direction of fatty acid synthesis.
The release of CO₂ is endergonic and results in the production of ATP.
The reaction is endergonic and requires the input of ATP.
The researchers did not study the effects of NADH, ADP and ATP on the enzyme. Given what you know of their roles in GAPDH, classify each as an activator or an inhibitor of the enzyme. What overall consideration having to do with how glycolysis is regulated allowed you to make these inferences, without having any data? Would ADP, a reactant of the phosphorylating pathway, tend to inhibit the competing non-phosphorylating pathway in order to get more ATP made? And the opposite for ATP whose presence indicates that pathway may not be needed any more?
Which of the following statements best explains why the activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme are often paired together?
The use of ATP by ATP-citrate lyase means that NADH needs to be regenerated cytosolically so that more ATP can be generated via shuttle systems and replace the ATP used by ATP-citrate lyase
ATP-citrate lyase produces ATP and malic enzyme produces NADPH, both needed in the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway
The activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme never are correlated, they always function in different realms of metabolism
The generation of acetyl CoA is a substrate for fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and NADPH is generated as the anabolic electron carrier

- The following statements describe the path of electrons from NADH through the electron transport chain. Please arrange them in order: Cytochrome c (Fe2+) carries electrons to Complex IV. Cytochrome c (Fe3+) is reduced to cytochrome c (Fe2+) QH2 carries electrons to Complex III Oxygen is reduced to water Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) is reduced to ubiquinol (QH2)arrow_forwardElectrons are continuously transferred from higher-energy carriers to lower-energy carriers in the electron transport chain, yet somehow iron is utilized as an electron carrier multiple times. Choose the most likely reason why this is possible. The pH of complex II is slightly higher than the pH of complex III. The reduction potential of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) in complex I is higher than the reduction potential of iron. The redox potential of iron ions can be manipulated by their environment. For instance, the iron in an iron-sulfur cluster will have a different redox potential than the iron in a heme group. The electrons carried by NADH are higher energy than the electrons carried by FADH2.arrow_forwardA poison that prevents the transfer of electrons from the last [Fe-S] cluster of Complex I to coenzyme Q is added to a suspension of actively respiring mitochondria. Which of the following will be observed? ATP production would be impaired due to the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation from electron transport. ATP production would be reduced due to inhibition of the CoQ subunit of ATP synthase. ATP production would be reduced due to a decrease in the number of protons pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix. ATP production would be halted completely due to the block in electron transport through the electron transport chain.arrow_forward

The oxidation of glucose can be coupled to the synthesis of ATP. If the coupling is 50% efficient, how many molecules of ATP can be synthesized per molecule of glucose oxidized? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is FALSE regarding oxidative phosphorylation? Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding oxidative phosphorylation? Oxidation and phosphorylation are coupled via a proton gradient. A large positive difference in reduction potential is associated with a small negative free energy change. Electrons from FADH2 enter at complex II because the reduction potential of FADH2 is greater than that of redox centers in complex I. The pH is higher in the matrix relative to that in the inter-membrane space.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning oxidative phosphorylation is false? Group of answer choices: The electron transport chain generates an electrochemical gradient that drives the production of ATP. ATP synthase with fewer subunits in its c ring will produce more ATP per proton. A “loose” β subunit of ATP synthase becomes a “tight” site as it produces ATP. When the supply of NADH and QH2 (ubiquinol) decreases, ATP synthase produces more ATP.arrow_forward

In the first step, electrons from FADH2 are transferred in complex II to ubiquinone, which does not transport any proton across the inner mitochondrion membrane. c. In the second step, complex III transfers the electrons from ubiquinone to cytochrome c, and four protons are transported from the matrix to the intermembrane space. d.
