In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the pyruvate 

(1) loses a carbon, which is given off as a molecule of CO₂, 

(2) is oxidized to form a two-carbon compound called acetate, and 

(3) is bonded to coenzyme A.

These three steps result in the formation of

A) acetyl CoA, O₂, and ATP.

B) acetyl CoA, FADH₂, and CO₂.

C) acetyl CoA, FAD, H₂, and CO₂.

D) acetyl CoA, NADH, H⁺, and CO₂.

E) acetyl CoA, NAD⁺, ATP, and CO₂.

Answer: D

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the pyruvate 

(1) loses a carbon, which is given off as a molecule of CO₂, 

(2) is oxidized to form a two-carbon compound called acetate, and 

(3) is bonded to coenzyme A.

Why is coenzyme A, a sulfur-containing molecule derived from a B vitamin, added?

A) because sulfur is needed for the molecule to enter the mitochondrion

B) in order to utilize this portion of a B vitamin which would otherwise be a waste product from another pathway

D) because it drives the reaction that regenerates NAD⁺

E) in order to remove one molecule of CO₂

Answer: C

Exposing inner mitochondrial membranes to ultrasonic vibrations will disrupt the membranes. However, the fragments will reseal "inside out." These little vesicles that result can still transfer electrons from NADH to oxygen and synthesize ATP. If the membranes are agitated further, however, the ability to synthesize ATP is lost.

A) all of the electron transport proteins as well as ATP synthase

B) all of the electron transport system and the ability to add CoA to acetyl groups

C) the ATP synthase system

D) the electron transport system

E) plasma membranes like those bacteria use for respiration

Answer: A

Exposing inner mitochondrial membranes to ultrasonic vibrations will disrupt the membranes. However, the fragments will reseal "inside out." These little vesicles that result can still transfer electrons from NADH to oxygen and synthesize ATP. If the membranes are agitated further, however, the ability to synthesize ATP is lost.

E) the contact required between inner and outer membrane surfaces

Answer: D

Exposing inner mitochondrial membranes to ultrasonic vibrations will disrupt the membranes. However, the fragments will reseal "inside out."
