This set of Biochemistry Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Regulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation”.
1. The regulation of oxidative phosphorylation depends on ____________
a) Magnitude of ion motive force
b) Magnitude of electron motive force
c) Magnitude of proton motive force
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The regulation of oxidative phosphorylation depends on the magnitude of proton motive force.
2. What is the rate of electron transfer when proton motive force is high?
a) Faster
b) Slower
c) Moderate
d) None
View Answer
Explanation: When proton motive force is high, rate of electron transfer is slower.

a) Energy charge of cell
b) Permeability of membrane
c) Number of ribosomes in cell
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The magnitude of proton motive force depends on energy charge of cell.

9. Products of glucose oxidation essential for oxidative phosphorylation are ____________
a) Pyruvate
b) Acetyl co-A
c) NADPH and ATP
d) NADH and FADH2
View Answer
Explanation: The end products of Krebs cycle are CO2, NADH, FADH2, ATP and water.
The reactants of oxidative phosphorylation are NADH, FADH2, O2, ADP and P.
10. Which effects the increased levels of hydrogen ions in the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria?
a) Increase ATP production
b) Decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation
c) Increased levels of water in inter-membrane space
d) Decreased levels of chemiosmosis
View Answer
Explanation: There is an increased ATP production if the levels of hydrogen ions increase in the inter-membrane space of the mitochondria.
