1. Dehydrogenases catalyze the transfer of hydrogen from one substrate to another in a coupled oxidation-reduction reaction.These dehydrogenases are specific for their substrates but often utilize common coenzymes or hydrogen carriers, e.g. NAD+. Which out of the following is not niacin ( NAD+) dependent dehydrogenase? a) Pyruvate dehydrogenase b) Glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase( Mitochondrial ) c) Glyceraldehyde-3-P

Case Study An elderly couple was brought by ambulance to the emergency department after their daughter noticed that they were both acting “strangely.” The couple had been in good health prior to the weekend. Their daughter had gone out to spend the weekend with her friends. The couple had been snowed in at their house

An 18-year-old college student is brought to the emergency room unconscious, with a very high serum alcohol level. Alcohol metabolism can result in high NADH levels. When NADH enters the electron transport chain, which of the following is the correct order in which electron transfer occurs? a) NADH, coenzyme Q, cytochrome c, FMN, O2 b)

A -8-year-old boy is seen by an ophthalmologist for difficulties in seeing in all visual fields as well as slow eye movements. The ophthalmologist finds pigmentary retinopathy and ophthalmoplegia. The child is suspected to have Kearns- Sayre syndrome, a disorder due to a mutation in complex II of ETC. The electron transport from which substance

An unskilled worker in a water garden was sent to sweep up a spill of white powder in the storage shed. Later, he was found with labored breathing and convulsions. On further examination, the white powder was identified as rotenone. Respiratory distress is induced by rotenone exposure because it inhibits the complex that catalyzes which

As electrons are received and passed down the transport chain, the electron carriers are first reduced with the acceptance of the electron and then oxidized with loss of the electron. A patient poisoned by which of the following compounds has the most highly reduced state of most of the respiratory chain carriers? A. Antimycin A
