Which statement is false? a. Given that the equilibrium for the Triosephosphate isomerase reaction strongly favors the formation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate¸ glycolysis cannot proceed.
b. The equilibrium of the Malate dehydrogenase step in the TCA cycle lies in favor of oxaloacetate.
c. Arsenate acts as a phosphate analog and can replace phosphate in the Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction. In its presence 1¸3 BPG is not formed thus reducing ATP synthesis and the net yield of ATP for the glycolytic pathway to 1 per hexose.
d. The ∆G0’ value for hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions at pH less than 7.0 would be less negative.
e. The complete oxidation of glucose releases a considerable amount of energy (∆G0’ = -2850 kJ/mol). Under standard conditions oxidation of one mole of glucose at 40 % efficiency results in generation of 50 ATP.
f. The carbon atom of the -COO group attached to the keto carbon of oxaloacetate is released as carbon dioxide in the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase reaction.
g. The two electrons derived from the Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex come from dihydrolipoic acid.
h. Although glycolysis cannot operate directly in reverse because of three irreversible steps pyruvate can be converted into glucose.
i. NADH produced in glycolysis must be oxidized back to NAD+. In animals this results in the production of Lactic Acid but in Yeasts ethanol is produced.
