CHEM 465 CAC and Electron Transfer

What is being broken down during the Citric Acid Cycle?

• Carbon Dioxide

• NADH

• Acetyl Groups

• ATP

Is NADH and FADH2 being reduced or oxidized in the Citric Acid Cycle?

• Reduced

• Oxidized

• Both Reduced and Oxidized

• Neither Reduced or Oxidized

Is the Citric Acid Cycle an aerobic or anaerobic process?

• Aerobic

• Anaerobic

• Neither Aerobic or anaerobic

• Both Aerobic and Anaerobic

NADH and FADH2 are oxidized by transferring electrons to O2 making H2O. This process generates high energy ____ utilizing which ATP is synthesized.

• H+ Gradient

• Electrons

• ADP

• Protons

Organize these options into the right categories

• Oxaloacetate

Which of the two substrates are diffusible coenzymes during the mega enzyme complex Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex?

• Coenzyme A

• NAD+

• TPP

• FAD

• Lipoic Acid

Lipoate uses this functional group due to the reversible oxidation it can go through.
