b) pyruvate kinase
c) aldolase
d) fructose bisphosphatase

If molecule A is spontaneously passing electrons to molecule B, it is likely that molecule B has a lower reduction potention (in volts) than molecule A.a) True
b) False
Explanation / Answer
Please find the answers below:
Answer 1: Choice c (one glucose metabolizes to generate 2 molecules of NADH in glycolysis, 2 via metabolism of two molecules of pyruvate by pyruvate dehydrogenase and finally 6 molecules via the Kreb's cycle per 2 molecules of acetyl coenzyme A)
Answer 2: Choice b (GTP is not a part of the Kreb's cycle, direct or indirect)
Answer 3: Choice a (the enzyme GAP or GTPase activation protein is a part of G-protein signalling, not metabolism or gluconeogenesis)
Answer 4: Choice b (Insulin lowers the blood sugar concentration by promoting glycogenesis. However, glucagon acts reverse in nature and promotes release of glucose from liver by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to maintain homeostasis)
Answer 5: False (Electrons move from a moleucule wiht high electronegativity i.e. low reduction potential or negative reduction potential to a molecule of low electronegativity i.e. high reduction potential or positive reduction potential)
