Which of the following is NOT a metabolic fate of pyruvate? The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetyl-CoA. Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes the carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate. Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the formation of lactate from pyruvate.

Which of the following is most likely to cause accumulation of acetyl CoA? Group of answer choices There is not enough oxaloacetate present to run the citric acid cycle Increase activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase Increased fatty acid synthesis Increased citrate synthase activity When fluoroacetate (an analog of acetate) is added to the mitochondria, it causes build up of fluorocitrate. Which of the following is most likely to be true? Group of answer choices Fluoroacetate cannot be converted to fluoroacetyl CoA Fluoroacetyl CoA cannot be combined with oxaloacetate to enter the citric acid cycle Addition of fluoroacetate will cause an increase in isocitrate Aconitase cannot use fluorocitrate as a substrate
