How will the cell shift its metabolic processes in response to the level of pyruvate and in order to produce ATP?
A. It will shift from aerobic respiration to fermentation
B. It will shift from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration
C.It will continue with aerobic metabolism using oxygen in the cytosol to make ATP
D. It will shift from anaerobic respiration to fermentation
What is the main goal of lactic fermentation in humans especially during strenuous activity?
a.
Reduce FAD+ to FADH2
b.
Reduce pyruvate to lactate
c.
Oxidize NADH to NAD+
d.
Oxidize glucose to ethanol
During glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle, NADH is produced. The citric acid cycle also produces FADH2. What is the purpose of these molecules?
a. to produce carbon dioxide to breathe out
b. to produce oxygen that is needed for the electron transport chain
c. to carry electrons to the electron transport chain
d. to provide the ADP and phosphate that are needed to make ATP

Anaerobic respiration does not have Krebs Cycle. b. Anaerobic respiration does not have an electron transport chain. c. Anaerobic respiration involves substrate-level phosphorylation only. d. Anaerobic respiration utilizes electronegative compounds such as nitrates as final electron acceptor.arrow_forwardATP levels are high in the liver, NADPH levels are low, but fat biosynthesis needs to happen. What is the function of the pentose phosphate pathway? a. Mode 1 - NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate are being generated b. Mode 2 - ribose 5-phosphate is needed, so only the non-oxidative portion is being used for carbon skeleton rearrangments c. Mode 3 - NADPH is needed, so oxidative portion is operating to make NADPH and non-oxidative portion is operating to regenerate glucose 6-phosphate d. Mode 4 - NADPH and ATP are needed, so oxidative portion makes NADPH, non-oxidative portion does carbon skeleton rearrangements to fuel glycolysis and make ATParrow_forward

- Why cannot gluconeogenesis and glycolysis be active at the same time? a. False! Gluconeogenesis starts in mitochondria, glycolysis in cytoplasm, so they can be active at the same time! b. True! Gluconeogenesis and Glycolysis use the same reversible enzyme, so these enzymes cannot support both reactions. c. False! Gluconeogensis uses bypasses, so that's why both pathways can be active at the same time. d. True! Gluconeogensis makes glucose, glycolysis breaks glucose. The purpose of both enzymes is clearly opposed. e. False! Gluconeogenesis is in the liver, glycolysis is not - it's in the muscle, so a different organ.arrow_forwardThe FADH2 formed during the Krebs cycle enters the electrontransport system at which site?a.
