Document Summary

One carbon from pyruvate is fully oxidated and leaves as carbon dioxide. What is left is a 2c molecule which is called an acetyl group. Acetyl group is attached to coenzyme a, which is required for the next reaction. Conenzyme a accepts the acetyl group and puts it into another reaction in the krebs cycle. Electron transport chain carries out a series of redox reactions. Oxidizing potential increases along the electron transport chain. Electrons lose free energy as they move along the electron transport chain. Coupled with the movement of electrons is the movement of protons against the concentration gradient/ across the membrane (called a proton motif force). Creates a force that can be used to synthesize atp. Atp synthase functions as a turbine; this is where protons flow against a concentration gradient. Works in both directions, whichever side has the lesser amount of protons is where the atp synthase will channel the protons toward (towards equilibrium)

True

False

Question 50

Glucose is necessary for fatty acid oxidation because...

		its derivative, pyruvate, is condensated with carbonic acid to form oxaloacetate, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound in the citric acid cycle
		it is needed to convert fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA which in turn is oxidized to acetyl CoA
		glucose is decarboxylated into cytochrome oxidase which is a necessary intermediate in the citric acid cycle
		its derivative, acetyl CoA, is condensated with carbonic acid to form lactase, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound in the citric acid cycle

Question 51

In aerobic ATP production, the role of oxygen is to...

		to keep the electron transport chain operational
		to accept electrons from the 3rd cytochrome and thereby oxidizing it so it can accept new electrons
		act as a oxidizing agent by accepting electrons from the electron transport chain and combining with hydrogen ions (protons)
		all of the above

Question 52
