Question

Which compartment of the eukaryotic mitochondrion is responsible for the formation of NADH, and FADH2, during catabolism of pyruvate into carbon dioxide?

  1. the mitochondrial matrix
  2. the outer mitochondrial membrane
  3. the intermembrane space
  4. the inner mitochondrial membrane
  5. the thylakoid membrane

 

 

 

The complete catabolism of glucose into CO2 and H2O generally yields a smaller amount of ATP in aerobic eukaryotes than in aerobic prokaryotes because the aerobic eukaryotes:

  1. generate more molecules of FADH2 during aerobic respiration
  2. have transport costs to get NADH into the mitochondrion
  3. generate more molecules of NADH during aerobic respiration
  4. are able to use pyruvate as a substrate for fermentation
  5. always produce ethanol rather than lactic acid as a byproduct
