10 Questions
What are the end products of energy extraction from food via oxidation?
Carbon dioxide and water
What is the common metabolic intermediate to which the building blocks are oxidized partially in tissues?
Acetyl CoA
In which cycle is acetyl CoA oxidized completely to CO2?
Citric acid (Krebs, or tricarboxylic acid [TCA]) cycle
How is the energy released in the citric acid cycle conserved?
By reducing NAD to NADH or FAD to FADH2
What is the final stage in the process of oxidative phosphorylation?
Electron transport chain (ETC) and ATP synthase
What type of reactions occur during catabolism and are energy producing?
Exergonic reactions
During which process do endergonic reactions occur, and what is their primary function?
Endergonic reactions occur during anabolism and they are energy consuming reactions.
What is the currency of energy in the cell, and what is its storage form?
The currency of energy in the cell is ATP, and its storage form is creatine phosphate.
What are the two methods for synthesizing ATP mentioned in the text?
The two methods for synthesizing ATP are Substrate Level Oxidative Phosphorylation (SLOP) and Electron Transport Chain (ETC).
What are the two types of reactions involved in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), and where is it located?
The two types of reactions involved in the ETC are oxidation and reduction. It is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
