Quiz zum Vortrag
Which of the following molecules is central to most of the biological reactions in the cell during metabolism?
- Acetyl CoA
- Ethanol
- Glucose
- Lipoamide
- Acetaldehyde
Which of the following amino acids is not synthesized from α-ketoglutarate of the citric acid cycle?
- Tyrosine
- Glutamine
- Glutamate
- Proline
- Arginine
Which of the following statements is not true regarding the citric acid cycle?
- The citric acid cycle enables the yeast or a bacterial cell to get metabolic energy from acetyl Co-A in the absence of oxygen.
- The catabolic breakdown of amino acids produces the intermediates of the TCA cycle.
- During anabolism of amino acids, the intermediates of the TCA cycle are used to synthesize the amino acids like glutamine, glutamate, proline, and arginine.
- The oxaloacetate, a TCA cycle intermediate, acts as a precursor for the synthesis of aspartate, asparagine, methionine, and threonine.
- In the absence of oxygen, the acetyl Co-A can’t enter the TCA cycle, so the yeast produces energy by converting pyruvate to ethanol.
Which of the following statement is not true regarding the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme?
- The pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme converts the acetaldehyde to ethanol in the yeast cell in the absence of oxygen.
- The pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme is a mitochondrial enzyme.
- The pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme is a very large multimeric complex composed of three subunits named E1, E2, and E3
- The E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme converts the TPP-acetaldehyde to acetyl-lipoamide, whereas the E3 subunit coverts the acetyl-lipoamide to acetyl-CoA.
- The enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase converts the pyruvate to acetyl Co-A via decarboxylation in the presence of oxygen.
