Explanation / Answer

107: Answer : d) amino acid metabolism

The urea cycle is an important metabolic pathway which balances the amino acid and nitrogen metabolism.

108: Answer: c) substrate-level: oxidative

ATP production during the course of glycolysis and TCA cycle is known as substrate-level phosphorylation, which is done without the establishment of the proton gradient and ATP production in ETC is known as oxidative phosphorylation which needs the electron transport down the reducing protein complexes and which establish proton gradient and while balancing this gradient ATP synthase will couple ATP production.

109: Answer: e: all are true

Aconitase enzyme coverts citric acid into isocitric acid via cis-aconitate formation, The subsequent dehydration and hydration steps involved in the mode of action of this enzyme using iron-sulfur cofactors.

110: Answer: d; oxaloacetate utilised in next reaction which has -AG

The malate dehydrogenase catalysis the reaction of malate to oxaloacetate formation. Even though it is thermodynamically not favourable, in the next reaction oxaloacetate is cleared by converting into citrate which needs to be replaced by this enzyme reaction. Hence malate dehydrogenase drives the reaction towards the oxaloacetate formation.

111.Answer: a can maintain the original structure

The coenzymes generally help to proceed reactions through interchanging between isoforms.

112.Answer: c: citric acid cycle

NAD+ is a strong oxidising agent which can oxidise the substrate and gain electrons by which it converts into NADH. It occurs in citric acid cycle
