UIUC MCB 150 EXAM 2 Questions and
Correct Answers/ Latest Update / Already
Graded
pH

Ans: Measurement of proton concentration


Glycolysis

Ans: Cytosol
6 carbon compound -> two 3 carbon compounds (Pyruvate)
Net energy: 2 ATP 2 NADH


3 phases of Glycolysis

Ans: Energy Investment: Phosphates from 2 ATP attach to
glucose -> rest of reactions can be exergonic
Cleavage Phase: breaks apart fructose 1, 6-biphosphate into 2
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Energy Liberation/ Payoff Phase: Yields ATP and NADH


Substrate-level phosphorylation

Ans: ATP synthesized by enzyme transferring phosphate from
phosphorylated molecule to ADP

Phosphofruktokinase

Ans: Catalyzes third step in glycolysis
High concentrations of ATP, ATP binds to allosteric site,
rendering the enzyme inactive
Feedback inhibition


Pyruvate Oxydation

Ans: Mitochondrial Matrix
2 Pyruvate (3-carbon compound) -> 2 Acetyl group (2-carbon
compounds) attached to coenzyme A = Acetyl CoA
1 NAD+ reduced into NADH -> Storage of energy
CO2


Pyruvate Dehydrogenase

Ans: Oxidizes (breaks down) pyruvate -> removes CO2


Citric Acid Cycle

Ans: Mitochondrial Matrix
cycle twice for every glucose
