- Chemical potential energy stored in the reduced coenzyme, NADH or FADH2 is converted to chemical potential energy in ATP in which of the following processes? a. the citric acid cycle b. glycolysis c. beta oxidation d. oxidative phosphorylation. e. all of the abovearrow_forwardCancer cells need more DNA synthesis but the NADPH/ NADP* ratio is high. Which of the following statement is TRUE? Flux through the oxidative reactions is low and the nonoxidative reactions are reversed in order to form ribose 5-phosphate. O b. The oxidative reactions and the isomerase supply both ribose 5-phosphate and NADPH with little flux through the nonoxidative branch. O C. Flux through the oxidative reactions increases and ribose 5-phosphate is shunted into glycolysis by the nonoxidative reactions. Od. The ribose 5-phosphate is recycled through the oxidative steps via the nonoxidative reactions and gluconeogenesis.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about aerobic respiration is true? a. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the citric acid cycle. b. Coenzyme-A is a substrate in the reaction that generates a key reactant for the citric acid cycle. c. Redox reactions occur in the electron transport chain (ETC), but not during the citric acid cycle and not during glycolysis. d. The citric acid cycle is the main ATP producer in aerobic respiration.arrow_forward
