A. If All Statements are TRUE C.

If ODD Numbered item/s is/are TRUE

B. If All Statements are FALSE D. If EVEN Numbered item/s is/are TRUE

1. A D-sugar has the following structure and the following

statements are deemed INCORRECT:
1) The sugar acts as a strong oxidizing agent and becomes
aldaric acid.
2) The sugar is an aldose.
3) The sugar is a ketose.
4) Can be detected by Barfoed’s test.
5) The sugar has β configuration.
2. Oxidizable sugars:
1) Become aldaric acids when allowed to react with strong oxidizing agents.
2) Produce alditols, such as xylitol and sorbitol, in reactions with oxidizing reagents.
3) Include aldoses and in some cases, ketoses because they have groups which can be oxidized to
carboxyl groups
4) Will react with cuprous ion to produce cupric oxide, which manifests as brick-red precipitate
5) Include all the monomeric units in polymeric carbohydrates
3. The following metabolite is produced and the subsequent
statements are accounted to be CORRECT.
1) The metabolite will cause activation of an enzyme to produce the
compound dedicated to Embden-Meyerhoff pathway
2) The metabolite inhibits Pyruvate Kinase
3) The metabolite activates Phosphofructokinase
4) The metabolite is the compound committed to glycolysis
5) The metabolite is an allosteric inhibitor.
4. Starvation will cause the following:
1) Gluconeogenesis
2) Phosphorylation of Pruvate Kinase
3) Production of Ketone Bodies
4) Depletion of Kreb Intermediates
5) Release of Glucagon
5. Two molecules of G1P are released from Glycogen which then isomerizes to G6P and enters
Glycolysis via Malate-Aspartate Shuttle
1) Complete Oxidation Will produce 66 ATPs
2) If one mole undergoes complete oxidation and the other mole, stops at Succinyl-CoA 50 and a half net
ATPs will be produced.
3) If one mole undergoes complete oxidation and the other mole stops at Malate, 53 and a half net ATPs
will be produced.
4) Catabolism of the 2 molecules of G6P will produce a net of 16 ATPs
5) The release of G1P from glycogen is most likely stimulated by insulin.
6. The following causes hyperglycemic actions
1) Dephosphorylation of Pyruvate Kinase
2) Release of Glucagon
3) Glycolysis
4) Phosphorylation of Glycogen Phosphorylase
5) Participation of Leucine and Lysine
7. The following statements are incorrect about Pyruvate
1) It may be used by the body to synthesize glucose.
2) It can undergo alcoholic fermentation to produce ethanol.
3) It becomes lactate via anaerobic metabolism
4) When converted to acetyl-coa, may produce ketone bodies upon depleted oxaloacetates
5) From glucose, its production involves a net yield of 7 ATP with the involvement of electron transport
occurring in the mitochondrion
8. Arachidic Acid is being metabolized by the body. Which of the following statements is/are
correct?
1) Net Production of 134 ATP upon complete oxidation
2) The fatty acid is brought to the mitochondria by biotin.
3) Formation of Acetyl CoA is primarily brought by Thiolase
4) One cycle of β-Oxidation will produce Acetyl-CoA and Palmitic Acid
5) One Cycle of β-Oxidation of Arachidoyl-CoA will have a net yield of 4 ATPs

A triglyceride containing Myristic, Stearic and Lauric Acids undergo metabolism.

A) How many cycles of β-oxidation will occur?

B) How many moles of Acetyl-CoA will be produced from the triglyceride
C) Count the net yield of ATP arising from the complete oxidation of the triglyceride.
