Which of the following lists steps in the CORRECT sequential order that occurs in the citric acid cycle?

The reduction potential is –0.22 V for FAD + 2e– + 2 H+ → FADH2 and –0.60 V for acetate + 2e– + 2 H+ → acetaldehyde. Which of the following is the strongest reducing agent?

Inhibitory factor 1:

Choose the cell compartment where free glucose forms during gluconeogenesis.

The first three steps of the β oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid are comparable to reactions occurring in the citric acid cycle (CAC). If the three steps involve oxidation, followed by hydration, followed by a second oxidation, which of the following CAC enzymes catalyze these similar reactions?

Patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency show high levels of lactic acid in the blood. However, in some cases, treatment with dichloroacetate (DCA) lowers lactic acid levels. DCA targets the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). Identify how DCA acts to stimulate pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.

Which of the following coenzymes is more predominantly involved as a cosubstrate in catabolic reactions where a metabolite is oxidized?

The mechanism of hexokinase relies on a conformational change of the enzyme upon glucose binding. Which of the following is TRUE?
