Thanks for your response. Here's the question btw, passage 2 in Bio TPRSW. Q> If in an aerobic organism, the Kreb cycle were suddenly arrested while glycolysis proceeded, the cell would most likely experience an increase in: a) glucose consumption b) number of cytochromes c) quantity of lactic acid d) quantity of ATP. The ans is a). The ans stem states that there is nothing to suggest oxygen levels are low so increase in lactic acid is unlikely, as
@BAMBAM mentioned in his response about lactic acid within anaerobic conditions. Regarding Beta oxidation of fatty acids, that will produce 8 Acetyl CoA (for 16 carbon) which will get arrested in Kreb. So I agree with you. That pathway will not be of much help. The ETC will still function but with just 2 NADH from glycolysis, so very inefficient. Sorry about the Orgo thing bud. I really don't know why they don't show up. Check out the Q&A site for MCAT. I put the same question over there too.......
Thanks for your response. Regarding 1) I understood that 2 and 3 were both S. But 2 looked like cis and 3 looked like trans, so I thought 2 is not the same as compound A which is trans. That was my confusion. Regarding 2) and 3) I just wasn't sure of my reasoning. Thanks for confirming it. Appreciate it.
