What is the true function of molecular oxygen acquired by the lungs? • O2 catalyzes the breaking of bonds in the glucose molecule. • O2 catalyzes the synthesis of ATP. • O2 serves as the final electron acceptor for the oxidation of food molecules. • O2 drives energy-dependent processes in our cells.

Predict what would happen to ATP production if a virus pierced holes in the inner mitochondrial membrane. • ATP production would be unchanged because the actual enzymes would not be affected. • ATP production would increase 10 times because more H+ could flow back into the matrix. • ATP production would decrease because a hydrogen ion gradient could not be established. • ATP production would decrease because the virus destroyed the ATP synthase enzymes.

Why don’t the electrons carried by NADH in the cytosol generate as many ATP as the electrons carried by NADH in the mitochondrial matrix? • There aren’t as many electrons in the cytosol. • The cytosolic electrons must be shuttled to the matrix at a loss of energy. • The cytosolic electrons are transported to a different ATP synthase that is less efficient. • They are smaller electrons.

Why isn’t it sufficient to reduce only dietary fat intake to prevent new fatty deposits from forming in the body? • Because ketone bodies form when fat intake is insufficient. • Acetyl CoA is a starting point for fatty acid synthesis. • Because muscle gets converted to fat. • Because cholesterol gets converted to fat.

What is the primary process by which insulin is released after a meal is ingested? • Insulin is secreted in direct response to blood glucose. • The brain sends a hormone to the pancreas to stimulate insulin release. • Insulin release is constant. • The vagus nerve innervates the pancreas and upon food ingestion fires action potentials that stimulate insulin secretion.
