Which of the following metabolic processes occurs exclusively in the mitochondria?
A. Cholesterol synthesis
B. Fatty acid synthesis
C. Gluconeogenesis
D. Glycolysis
E. Hexose monophosphate shunt
F. Ketone body synthesis
G. Urea cycle
these Qs seem familiar...yet I dont remember from where...
ULISE, e) occurs exclusively IN CYTO OR MITOCHONDRIA
glycolysis - cytoplasm
gluconeogenesis- both
fatty acis synthesis- cytoplasm
beta oxidation of fatty acid - mitochondria
cholesterol synthesis- cytoplasm
ketone body synthesis- mitochondria of liver
ketogenolysis- extrahepatic mitochondria
HMP shunt- cytoplasm
hope that solves many questions!!!
i am sleepy...Krebs is in Mithocondria
The correct answer is F. Of the processes listed, only ketone body synthesis occurs exclusively in the
mitochondria. Other mitochondrial processes include the production of acetyl-CoA, the TCA cycle, the electron
transport chain, and fatty acid oxidation.
Processes that occur exclusively in the cytoplasm include cholesterol synthesis (choice A; in cytosol or in ER),
fatty acid synthesis (choice B), glycolysis (choice D), and the hexose monophosphate shunt (choice E).
Note that gluconeogenesis (choice C) and the urea cycle (choice G) occur in both the mitochondria and the
cytoplasm.
had forgotten all these points
