Location of Reactions

Question 1

In Mitochondria

Answer 1

FA beta oxidation (need carnitine shuttle to get in)

Acetyl CoA production (from pyruvate)

TCA cycle

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Ketogenesis

Question 2

In Cytoplasm

Answer 2

Glycolysis (glucose –> pyruvate)

HMP Shunt

Synthesis of steroid (smooth ER)

Synthesis of proteins (rough ER)

Synthesis of cholesterol, fatty acids and NUCLEOTIDES

Question 3

Both Mitochondria and Cytoplasm

Answer 3

HUG - takes 2 people

H - heme synthesis

U - urea cycle - citrulline out and ornithine in

G - gluconeogenesis (pyruvate –> OAA –> malate then malate shuttle –> out and back to OAA)
