- Question
Phosphofructokinase, the major flux-controlling enzyme of glycolysis is allosterically inhibited and activated respectively by
Options- A. ATP and PEP
- B. AMP and Pi
- C. ATP and ADP
- D. Citrate and ATP
- Correct Answer
- ATP and ADP
- 1. In glycolysis, ATP is formed by the transfer of a high-energy phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADR No such high-energy phosphate donor has ever been isolated in mitochondria because

- 4. Glucose from the breakdown of glycogen is obtained in
Options- A. the liver by phosphorolysis
- B. the muscles by phosphorolysis
- C. the muscles by hydrolysis

- 5. In the glycogen synthase reaction, the precursor to glycogen is
Options- A. glucose-6-P
- B. UTP-glucose

- 7. Which of the following is not true of glycolysis?
Options- A. ADP is phosphorylated to ATP via substrate level phosphorylation
- B. The pathway does not require oxygen
- C. The pathway oxidizes two moles of NADH to NAD+ for each mole of glucose that enters
- D. The pathway requires two moles of ATP to get started catabo-lizing each mole of glucose Discuss
- 8. During catabolism, only about 40% of the energy available from oxidizing glucose is used to synthesize ATP. Remaining 60%
Options- A. is lost as heat
