Q 9 - Energy Generation Part 1 Flashcards
Glycolysis and _______________ provide for aerobic repsiration
A) beta -oxidation
T/F 1 ATP being released happens during pyruvate decarboxylation stage?
False
T/F in a generalized way, the Krebbs cycle oxidizes carbon
True
T/F The purpose of ETCis to produce molecules to enter the Krebbs Cycle
False
How does the enzyme ATP synthase (Step 4) power its ability to make ATP
A concentration gradient of H+ is guided thru the enzyme
T/F Glycolisis can take place in the cytoplasm, aerobic respiration must take place in the mitochondrion
True
Which answer is true about mitochondrion
cells with low energy needs might only have a few mitochondrion
T/F the fluid-filed areas of the mitochondrion are the intermembrane space and the matrix
True
Vitamins are important cofactors in respiration enzymes. Is Coenzyme lipoamide a vitamin?
NO
Which molecule is the most abundant product of the Krebbs Cycle?
NADH
What is the primary waste product of both Krebb and Pyruvate Decarboxylation
CO2
What happens if there are insufficient cofactors (malnutrition) present in the energy generation cycle?
enzymes can’t work efficiently
T/F Acetyl Coenzyme A (ACA) is the only molecule that replenishes carbon in the Krebs cycle
True
