F1 particle
In which step of glycolysis is NADH produced?
Triose phosphate –> 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate
In which steps of glycolysis are ATP produced?
1,3 bisphosphoglycerate –> 3 phosphoglycerate
Phosphoenolpyruvate –> Pyruvate
Which enzyme converts 2 phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate?
Enolase
Which enzyme converts fructose 1,6 bisphosphate to triose phosphate?
Aldose
Where does glycolysis take place?
Cytoplasm of cell
What is oxidative decarboxylation in respiration process?
Pyruvate –> acetyl co-A
Which molecules form a part of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex which catalyses oxidative decarboxylation reaction?
Lipoic acid, Mg2+, transacetylase, thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), co-a, NAD+

Glucose Glucose-6-phosphate Fructose-6-phosphate Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate Triose phosphate 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate 3-Phosphoglycerate 2-Phosphoglycerate Phosphoenolpyruvate Pyruvate
Sequentially name all the major molecules formed in the Kreb’s cycle
Oxaloacetic acid + acetyl Co-A Citric acid Cis-aconitic acid Isocitrate Oxalosuccinate α-Ketoglutaric acid + CO2 Succinyl co-A Succinate Fumerate Malate Oxaloacetic acid
How many carbon molecules are present in α-ketoglutaric acid?
5
In which step of Kreb’s cycle is a carbondioxide molecule lost?
Oxalosuccinic acid –> α-Ketoglutaric acid + CO2
α-Ketoglutaric acid –> Succinyl co-A
In which steps of Kreb’s cycle are NADH produced?
Isocitrate –> Oxalosuccinic acid
α-Ketoglutaric acid –> Succinyl co-A
Malate–> Oxaloacetic acid
In which step of Kreb’s cycle is GTP produced?
