1.) part A. Gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesizing __________.

proteins from glucose

polysaccharide slime from glucose

glucose from other compounds

glucose from genes

Part B. The proton motive force (PMF) is driven by __________.

The pumping of electrons though the plasma membrane

the difference in charge across the plasma membrane with electrons outside the membrane

the difference in charge across the plasma membrane with protons outside the membrane

the pumping of protons through the plasma membrane

Part C.) Applying your knowledge of metabolism, glycolysis starts with one molecule of glucose (6C) and produces a net total of __________.

two pyruvates; 2 NADH; 2 ATP

one pyruvates; 2 NADH; 2 ATP

two pyruvates; 4 NADH; 2 ATP

one pyruvate; 2 NADH; 4 ATP

Part D.) The function of NAD+/NADH in the cell is best described as __________.

a way to transport electrons to the mitochondria for energy generation in bacteria

a way to increase the types of redox reactions that occur in the cell by acting as an intermediary between dissimilar compounds

a way to transport protons to the plasma membrane for energy generation in bacteria

a way to increase the types of redox reactions that occur in the cell by acting as an intermediary between similar compounds

Solution

1). Part A). glucose from other compounds

Gluconeogenesis is a process of synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The three major substrates for gluconeogenesis are,

Part B). the difference in charge across the plasma membrane with protons outside the membrane - Proton motive force

Part C). two pyruvates; 2 NADH; 2 ATP

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process, through which one glucose molecules is breakdown into two molecules of three carbon pyruvate. The glycolysis of each glucose molecule generates 2 ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules.

Glucose + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 P_i + 2 ADP 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H⁺ + 2 H₂O + heat.

Part D). a way to increase the types of redox reactions that occur in the cell by acting as an intermediary between dissimilar compounds
