Question

1. For every one glucose that is metabolized, how many net ATP are produced by aerobic respiration (glycolysis, TCA, ETC, and Oxidative Phosphorylation)?

A. ~5 B. ~10 C. ~20 D. ~30 E. ~40

2. Which of the following cofactors cannot undergo a one electron reduction?

A. FADH B. FAD C. UQ D. NAD+ E. UQH–

3. What is the purpose of the electron transport chain?

A. to pump electrons out of the matrix B. to pump protons out of the matrix C. to bring electrons into the matrix D. to bring protons into the matrix E. none of these

Explanation / Answer

answers:

1) ATP are produced by aerobic respiration (Glycolysis, TCA, ETC, and Oxidative phosphorylation) = E) 40 ATP

2) Cofactors cannot undergo a one electron reduction : A) FADH2

3) Purpose of the electron transport chain : B) To pump protons out of the matrix. These protons pumps to intermediate space
