Question

64) If 2 NADH and 2 FADH2 molecules enter the electron transport system, how many ATP molecules will be produced on average? a) 4 b) 8 c) 16 d) 26-28 For the last few questions, choose from the following: a) Glycogenolysis b) Glycogenesis c) Beta oxidation d) Gluconeogenesis e) Lipolysis ab) Proteolysis ac) Lactate fermentation 65) It's been 12 hours since your last meal. To keep your cells supplied with fuel, occurs in your liver to break down stored polysaccharides into its monomers which are then released into the blood. 66) When cells cannot use carbohydrates to make ATP free fatty acid monomers are transported into the mitochondrial matrix and a process called converts them into the starting substrate of the Citric Acid Cycle. 67) Under anaerobic conditions, excess pyruvate will be eliminated from cells by this process. 68) Think about each of the anabolic and catabolic reaction types listed above in the answer choices. There is one reaction listed there that involves dehydration/condensation reactions. Which one is it? 69) This process produces free amino acids that can help to maintain the Citric Acid Cycle when all other fuels are not available. 70) This process can specifically convert amino acids or lactate into the starting substrate for glycolysis.

Explanation / Answer

64) (b) 1 NADH = 2.5 ATP, 1 FADH2 = 1.5 ATP. therefore from 2 of each, 2.5×2 + 1.5×2 = 5+3 = 8 APR molecules are released.

65) a) glycogenolysis

66) c) beta oxidation

67) d) gluconeogenesis

68) b) glycogenesis

69) ab) proteolysis

70) ac) lactic acid fermentation
