Explanation / Answer

10) D. all of the above

The two private molecules produced degradation of one glucose molecule via glycolysis do not directly enter into the Kreb’s cycle for further degradation. First, they are converted to acetyl coenzyme A by the enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase which is degraded by Krebs cycle enzymes. During this conversion, two NADH molecules are generated from two pyruvate molecules and two CO2.

In Krebs cycle the acetyl coenzyme A combine with one oxaloacetate molecule produces citrate. The citrate molecule degraded and an oxaloacetate molecule is regenerated at the end of Krebs cycle. During Krebs cycle, 1 GTP (=1 ATP), 1 FADH2, 3NADH2 are produced from one molecule of private.

11. a. glycolysis          =>        pyruvate oxidation    =>        Krebs cycle    =>        Electro transport system

The glucose degraded in aerobic cellular respiration in four stages

Stage1: occurs in the cytosol

Glycolysis: In the cytoplasm of a cell, the glucose is degraded by the glycolysis pathway. One glucose molecule (6 Carbon compound) enters into glycolysis produces two molecules of pyruvate (3 Carbon compound). During the degradation of glucose molecule produces two molecules of NADH and four ATPs but two ATPs are utilized for glycolysis process so the net gain is two ATPs at the end of glycolysis. Finally, only two ATP molecules are produced from degradation of one molecule of glucose by glycolysis pathway.

Stage2: occurs in Mitochondria

Formation of acetyl coenzyme A: The two private molecules produced in glycolysis do not directly enter into the Kreb’s cycle for further degradation. First, they are converted to acetyl coenzyme A by the enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase which is degraded by Krebs cycle enzymes. During this conversion, two NADH molecules are generated from two pyruvate molecules and two CO2.

Stage3: occurs in Mitochondria

Krebs cycle: it is also called citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle. The acetyl coenzyme A combine with one oxaloacetate molecule produces citrate. The citrate molecule degraded and oxaloacetate molecule is regenerated. During Krebs cycle, two GTP, two FADH2, six NADH2 and 2 Co2 are produced from two molecules of private.

Stage4: occurs in Mitochondria

Electron transport chain: it is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane with four protein complexes which carry electrons from the NADH2 and FADH2 to terminal oxygen and produces the NAD+ and ATP. Generation of ATP by the oxidation of NADH2 and FADH2 by electron transport chain is called oxidative phosphorylation. During the aerobic respiration total, 36 ATPs are produced.

12 .A. pyruvate oxidation

pyruvate oxidation: The two private molecules produced in glycolysis do not directly enter into the Kreb’s cycle for further degradation. First, they are converted to acetyl coenzyme A by the enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase which is degraded by Krebs cycle enzymes. During this conversion, two NADH molecules are generated from two pyruvate molecules and two CO2.

13. Pump H+ across the mitochondrial membrane.

The reducing equivalents (NADH2 and FADH2) generated in glycolysis, the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, Kreb’s cycle are oxidized by the donating electrons to the oxygen by the four electron carrier complexes of electron transport system. During their oxidation by the four complexes of ETS, the H+ move from matrix to intermembrane space of mitochondria.
