Explanation / Answer

Answer to Question 81:

b. Ubiquinone

There are four protein complexex in ETC, Complex I,II,III and IV

Complex I pumps four hydrogen ions across the membrane from matrix into the intermembrane space.

Complex II delivers additional electrons into the quinone pool

Ubiquinone accepts electrons from both the complexes and transports to complex III.

Answer to Question 82: E

Glucose is the general metabolic fuel, that is readily metabolised by any cell.

Palmitate undergoes oxidation (mitochondrial oxidation of fatty acids) and produce Acetyl Co-A.

Glycine is used as a metabolic fuel in gastro intestinal tract. It is used in the synthesis of products like bile and nucleic acids.

AMP formed by adenylate kinase is a metabolic fuel in the body.

Acetyl Co-A delivers acetyl group to Kreb's cycle , which is oxidized for energy production. It is a molecule which participates in many reactions of carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism.

Ketone bodies are produced by liver from fatty acids during fasting (low food intake). They are converted to Acetyl Co- A which enters the Kreb's cycle., oxidized in mitochondria and generate energy.

Hence the answer is E.

Answer to Question 83: C

Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis is converted to Acetyl Co-A which enters Kreb's cycle.

The reaction liberates CO2

Succinate to fumarate in citric acid cycle is a dehydrogenation reaction which does not liberate CO2

Similarly malate to oxaloacetate is a dehydrogenation reaction which does not liberate CO2

Isocitrate to alpha keto glutarate is an oxidative decarboxylation reaction which liberate CO2

alpha keto glutarate to succinyl Co- A is an oxidative decarboxylation reaction which liberate CO2
