100

The regulatory enzymes of glycolysis 

What is hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase

100

"Recycles" pyruvate and lactate back into

What is glucose?

100

What are the names for the TCA cycle? 

TCA, Krebs, Citric Acid Cycle (CAC)

100
How many complexes make up the ETC?

4

100

The mitochondrial enzyme transforms the energy of protons falling down an energy gradient into ATP

What is ATP synthase?

200

Net reaction of glycolysis 

What is Glucose + 2 Pi + 2 ADP + 2 NAD+ = 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2H+ + 2H2O 

200

The first reaction of gluconeogenesis

What is the carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate? 

200

TCA cycle Step 1 

Captures electrons and makes citrate from acetyl-coA and OAA

200

Where does FADH2 enter the electron transport chain ?

Complex 2

200

Active sites are located on which polypeptide chain of the F1 subunit.

What are the beta subunits? 

300

How does glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP dehydrogenase) lower activation energy for the reaction it catalyzes? 

What is a thioester intermediate? 

300

Compound specific to gluconeogenesis ( not used in glycolysis) 

What is oxaloacetate? 

300

Where do the loss of carbons happen in TCA

Step 3 and Step 4

300

Describe the impact of high and low levels of O2 on the ETC?

If there is a lot of O2 then the ETC will run just fine. However, if there is little or no O2 then the ETC stops because there's no where for the electrons to go ( not a final electron acceptor present) 

If oxygen concentration is low you dump e- onto oxygen directly without turning it into H2O making superoxide which can be damaging 

300

Purpose of ATP-ADP translocase

What is To move ATP into the cytoplasm 

400

Why does glucose have an oxidation number of 0 while pyruvate has an oxidation number of 1? 

What is the removal of electrons from glucose to make pyruvate?

400

In most tissues what is generated? Glucose or glucose 6-phosphate? 

What is glucose 6-phosphate? 

400

When is GTP produced in TCA

What is step 5 of TCA 
400

what delivers electrons to oxygen, and where does this happen? 

Cytochrome C oxidase in complex 4

400

How do the NADH produced by glycolysis get into the ETC?

What is through the Glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle. OR Matale-aspartate shuttle

500

Glucose enters the beta cells of the pancreas through?

What is the GLUT2 
500

Key regulatory site in gluconeogenesis? 

What is the interconversion of fructose-6-phosphate and fructose1,6-bisphosphate

500

How to make sugar from fat and bypass the decarboxylation in the TCA cycle

The glyoxylate cycle 

500

Where does the Q cycle take place? 

Complex 3 

500

One molecule of glucose turns into ( at the end of everything) 

The maximum possible yield is around 38 atp ( heart and liver) or 36 (muscle and brain) atp, depending on the shuttles used 


All of the carbons turned into CO2 during the TCA cycle. Water is generated from the protons and oxygen at the end of the ETC.
