Identify the correct statements regarding the mitochondrial electron transport system.
I: | Electrons from NADH in mitochondrial matrix are first transferred to [Fe-S] and then to FMN in complex I. |
II: | Complex II is not a proton pump. |
III: | Cytochrome c is located on the outer surface of the inner membrane. |
IV: | Ubiquinone, located within the inner mitochondrial membrane, is oxidized with the transfer of electrons to cytochrome c via complex III. |
1. | Only II and III | 2. | Only II, III and IV |
3. | Only IV | 4. | Only I and III |
When oxygen is not available to a cell, NADH formed during glycolysis:
1. | does not undergo any change as there is no need for the cell to regenerate NAD+ |
2. | passes electrons to the electron transport system |
3. | passes hydrogen atoms to pyruvic acid |
4. | passes electrons and hydrogen atoms to acetyl coA |
Based on the figures given below, calculate the efficiency of the process of aerobic cellular respiration in a eukaryotic cell:
I. | The total yield is 32 ATP molecules |
II. | Complete oxidation of a mole of glucose releases 686 kcal or energy under standard conditions. |
III. | Phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP stores at least 7.3 kcal per mole of ATP |
1. | 3.5 % | 2. | 32 % |
3. | 34 % | 4. | 51 % |
What would be true when comparing the processes of anaerobic respiration and fermentation?
I. | Both processes do not use oxygen. |
II. | An electron transport chain is used in anaerobic respiration but not in fermentation. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Neither I nor II | 4. | Both I and II |
In aerobic cellular respiration:
1. | all oxygen in water given off comes from the water used in the process |
2. | all oxygen in water given off comes from the glucose dismantled in the process |
3. | all oxygen in water given off comes from the oxygen gas acquired from the air during breathing |
4. | oxygen in water given off comes from both the water used in the process and the glucose dismantled in the process |
In the electron transport system in the mitochondria, oxygen acts as a:
I: final acceptor of electrons
II: final acceptor of protons
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |

2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
1. | 0.70 | 2. | 0.82 |
3. | 0.90 | 4. | 1.00 |
