Explanation
The given diagram is of citric acid cycle. It is also called as Krebs cycle. When isocitric acid is converted to
α
-ketoglutaric acid, NAD
+
is converted to NADH
2
and CO
2
is liberated. This reaction is carried out by enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. This
α
-ketoglutaric acid undergoes oxidative decarboxylation and succinyl CoA is generated with liberation of NADH
2
and CO
2
. This reaction is carried out by enzyme α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Succinyl CoA undergoes phosphorylation to produce succinic acid. In this step, GTP is formed from GDP. Succinic acid then undergoes oxidation to produce Fumaric acid by enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. FADH
2
is generated from FAD in this step.
Thus, the correct answer is 'X-NADH
2
, Y-FADH
2
, Z-GTP.'

0%
NADH donates electrons to electron transport system
0%
Begins with glucose
Explanation
Fermentation is the process that takes place after the glycolysis in the cells where the anaerobic respiraton occurs due to absence or lack of oxygen.
Pyruvic acid which is formed at the end of the glycolysis by the break down of the glucose molecule enters the fermentation reaction in the anaerobic cells.
During fermentation reaction the pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid and one molelcule of NADH is formed per molecule of pyruvic acid.
This molecule of NADH will only form ATP when it will undergo oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain which takes place in mitochondria, but for this process presence of oxygen is required so the organisms or the cells performing anaerobic respiration cannot perforem this process therefore the NADH formed will not donate electron to the ETS and no ATP will be formed by that.
Therefore the answer option 'NADH donates electrons to electron transport system' is correct.

None of these
Explanation
Pyruvic acid is a 3 carbon molecule which is first oxidised to acetyl coA after reacting with coenzyme A. During this reaction one molecule of NADH and one molecule of Carbon dioxide is released.
Second molecule of carbon dioxide along with a molecule of NADH is released when 6 carbon citric acid is converted to ketoglutaric acid .
Third molecule of carbon dioxide is released during conversion of ketogluataric acid to succinic acid along with the release of NADH and GDP.
Thus all three molcules of carbon present in the pyruvic acid are released in the form of carbon dioxide from the kerb cycle.
Therefore the correct answer is option 'Carbon dioxide'.

The Krebs cycle and the electron transport system
Explanation
Respiration is of two types -
Aerobic respiration - It is the process of complete oxidation of organic foods into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. it has three steps ;
Glycolysis - It occurs in the cytoplasm in which glucose breaks into two molecules of pyruvate. It occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria where oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate takes place to form acetyl CoA.
Electron transport system - Here series of coenzymes and cytochromes acts as a passage of electron.
Anaerobic respiration - It is the process of incomplete oxidation of organic foods. oxygen is not utilized in this process, this occurs in the process of fermentation.
So, the correct option is ' Fermentation and glycolysis'.

Report Question
0%
must occur twice for each glucose molecule metabolised
0%
produces 2 ATP directly from the cycle intermediates
0%
produces 4 carbon dioxide molecules per glucose molecule
0%
all of the above
Explanation
After glycolysis 2 molecules of 3 carbon pyruvate are formed from one molecule of Glucose.
These pyruvate molecules then are converted to acetyl coA which enters the kerb cycle or the citric acid cycle
After one acetyl coA molecule undergoes the cycle 4 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH and on molecule of ATP is formed.
This is the number of the molecules formed from one pyruvate when it undergoes one cycle.
Therefore one glucose molecule forms 2 pyruvates which means that at the end of the kerb cycle one glucose molecule will form 2 ATP
Also for the formation of carbon dioxide; 2 molecules of carbon dioxide are formed, first one during the converstion of citric acid to ketoglutaric acid and second during the conversion of ketoglutaric acid to succinic acid. Whixh means that each pyruvic acid gives 2 molecules of carbon dioxide per cycle.
Therefore one molecule of glucose will give 4 molecules of carbon dioxide as for a glucose molecule to be completed metabolised it has to undergo kerb cycle twice.
Therefore the answer 'all of the above' is correct.
Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :

After the reaction of glyolysis that takes place in cytoplasm which ends in formation of pyruvic acid.
The pyruvic acid is converted to Acetyl CoA which will enter the kerb cycle for further reactions.
For the further reaction in eukaryotic cells the acetyl coA will enter the mitochondria
This kerb cycle takes place in mitochondria and so that all the enzymes that are required for the cycle are present in the mitochondrial matrix.
Therefore the correct answer is option 'mitochondrial matrix'.

Embden-Meyerhof pathway
0%
Fatty acid synthesis
0%
Transamination
Explanation
Fatty acid break down takes place in the condition of starvation where the fatty acid is broken down to acetyl CoA which takes part in kerb cycle and provides further energy to the body.
Embden meyerhof pathway is the glycolysis pathway which will produce pyruvic acid at the end of the process that converts in to acetyl CoA which takes part in kerb cycle.
Sometimes when fatty acid are required the acetyl CoA is taken out of the pathway and converted to fatty acid by the fatty acid synthesis pathway.
This is done by a reaction between acetyl CoA and NADPH.
Transamination is the reaction which takes place for the formation of the amino acid by the transfer of the amino group from one amino acid to the other. And acetyl coA does not take part in this reaction for the formation of amino acid.
Therefore the answer option 'Transamination' is correct.
Fatty acids are broken down to

0%
All of the above
Explanation
During the time of starvation or in the fasting state when then the level of glucose in the blood is less the whole metabolism process gives priority to see that the brain and the other important organs are providedwith glucose.
While other organs use other material such as fatty acid and protein for the synthesis of energy by the kerb cycle.
Fatty acid is the main component that is used in the energy synthesis after carbohydrates as it can be easily stored whereas protein can be used for the energy synthesis but that cannot be stored in the body.
The fatty acid also cannot direct enter the kerb cycle therefore they are to be broken down to acetyl CoA which is done by the process of beta oxidation.
Long chain of fatty acid are broken down to the 2 carbon molecule of Acetyl CoA for example Palmitoyl acid is converted to 8 molecules of Acetyl CoA after beta oxidation.
After bein converted it can enter the kerb cycle.
Therefore the answer option C is correct.

Explanation
Aerobic respiration is the respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen.
The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell after which 2 molecules of pyruvic acid is formed per molecule of glucose.
After which the molecule of pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA and then it enters the kerb cycle which takes place in the mitochondrial matrix as all the enzymes that are used for the process of kerb cycle is present in mitochondria.
Therefore the process of aerobic respiration starts in the cytoplasm and ends in the mitochondria.
Therefore the correct answer is the 'mitochondrion'.
State whether the following statements are true or false.

8
Explanation
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The initial cycle of aerobic respiration is glucose.
At the final stage of the cycle, it generates two
pyruvate
molecules, which is a net gain of two ATP molecules, and two NADH 2 molecules.
Each formation of 1, 3-biphosphoglyceric acid to 3-
phosphoglyceric
acid and that of 2-phosphoenol
pyruvic
acid to pyruvic acid produces two molecules of ATP.
However, two of these four molecules of ATP are used during the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-
phosphate
and fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-diphosphate.
Two molecules of NADH 2 are produced during the conversion of two molecules of 1, 3-
diphosphoglyceraldehyde
into two molecules of 1, 3-diphosphoglyceric acid.
During aerobic respiration, each NADH 2 produces three ATP and one water molecule.
Hence, in the process of glycolysis, the net gain of ATP molecules is 8 during aerobic respiration.
