Multiple ChoiceThere is no production of carbon dioxide in glycolysis. Which of the following is the best explanation for this fact?
Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following molecules in the process of glycolysis possesses the most chemical energy?
Multiple ChoiceA chemist has discovered a drug that blocks phosphoglucoisomerase, an enzyme that catalyzes the second reaction in glycolysis. He wants to use the drug to kill bacteria in people with infections. However, he cannot do this because __________.
Open QuestionMAKE CONNECTIONS Step 3 in Figure 9.9 is a major point of regulation of glycolysis. The enzyme phosphofructokinase is allosterically regulated by ATP and related molecules (see Concept 8.5). Considering the overall result of glycolysis, would you expect ATP to inhibit or stimulate activity of this enzyme? Explain. (Hint: Make sure you consider the role of ATP as an allosteric regulator, not as a substrate of the enzyme.)
Multiple ChoiceWhere does the first stage of aerobic cellular respiration take place within a cell?a) Mitochondrial matrix.b) Inner mitochondrial membrane.c) Intermembrane space.d) Cytoplasm.
Multiple ChoiceStarting with one molecule of glucose, glycolysis results in the net production of which of the following sets of energy-containing products?a) 2 NAD+, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP.b) 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP.c) 4 NADH, 2 pyruvate, and 4 ATP.d) 6 CO2, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP.
Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is a result of glycolysis?a) A net gain of four ATP per one glucose molecule.b) Conversion of FAD to FADH2.c) Conversion of one glucose molecule to two pyruvate molecules.d) Conversion of NADH to NAD+.
