Matching

Indicate whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.If a statement is false, explain why it is false

Premises:

Responses:

With respect to the amount of energy stored in molecules of the body, 6 g of glycogen is the equivalent of 1 g of fat.

True

Glycogen phosphorylase cleaves glucose monomers from the glycogen polymer, phosphorylating them at the same time so that they can be fed unchanged into the glycolytic pathway.

False

The proteins of the electron-transport chain remove a pair of high-energy electrons from the cofactors NADH and FADH₂, after which the electrons move across the inner mitochondrial membrane to maintain the voltage gradient.

Gluconeogenesis is a linear reaction pathway that the cell employs to generate glucose from pyruvate and is exactly the reverse of the reactions in the glycolytic pathway.
