Question 5

Use the following to answer the questions below: In each of the following multiple-choice questions, characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: -Statements: (1) All intermediates in the C₃ stage of glycolysis are phosphorylated derivatives of either glycerol or acetone. (2) The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth, continues in the stomach, and is completed in the small intestine. (3) The storage form for excess glucose in the body is glycogen produced by glycogenesis.

Accepted Answer

- Statement 1 is false because intermediates in glycolysis are phosphorylated derivatives of glucose, not glycerol or acetone.- Statement 2 is true; carbohydrate digestion begins with salivary amylase in the mouth, continues with limited action in the stomach due to the enzyme's denaturation by stomach acid, and is completed in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic amylase.- Statement 3 is true; glycogen is indeed the storage form of glucose in the body, synthesized through the process of glycogenesis.

(2) The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of a cell.
(3) Insulin's function is to increase blood glucose levels by speeding up the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is TRUE because gluconeogenesis is indeed the metabolic process that generates glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates. Statement 2 is TRUE because glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of cells. Statement 3 is FALSE because insulin actually decreases blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells and the conversion of glucose to glycogen, not by speeding up the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

(2) The processing of one glucose molecule via glycolysis produces two acetyl CoA molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules.
(3) The majority of ATP molecules produced during the complete oxidation of glucose form during the glycolysis phase of oxidation.

Accepted Answer

1) The first step of glycolysis actually involves the phosphorylation of glucose to produce glucose 6-phosphate, not glucose 1-phosphate. 2) The processing of one glucose molecule via glycolysis directly produces two pyruvate molecules, not acetyl CoA or carbon dioxide; these products are generated in subsequent steps within the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle. 3) The majority of ATP molecules produced during the complete oxidation of glucose are formed during oxidative phosphorylation, not during glycolysis.
