The number of molecules of ATP that can be produced in the Citric Acid Cycle by substrate level phosphorylation of ADP from two molecules of Acetyl-CoA is 30. d. Fumarate contains a trans double bond. The cis isomer of Fumarate is Maleate which cannot serve as carbon source for a cell. e.

Pyruvate is transformed to Acetyl-CoA in one of two ways: a. in the cytoplasm by an oxidative carboxylation process b.Through the mitochondrial matrix's oxidative decarboxylation mechanism C. In the mitochondrial matrix, via a dehydration process d.Through the liver's glucose-6-phosphatase
A major pathway for metabolism of ethanol is shown below. Humans consuming a large fraction of their calories in the form of ethanol may become hypoglycemic. This is because: Ethanol is a good solvent, and it dissolves the membranes of the mitochondria, where some of the gluconeogenic enzymes reside. b. Ethanol metabolism indirectly inhibits pyruvate kinase, by consuming NAD. d. Ethanol metabolism indirectly inhibits lactate dehydrogenase, by consuming NAD. f. The assertion in the question is incorrect, because acetyl-CoA can be used for synthesis of glucose. g. Ethanol metabolism indirectly inhibits pyruvate carboxylase, by consuming NAD. h. Ethanol metabolism indirectly inhibits phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, by consuming NAD.
