9. Metabolic pathways begin with initial organic substrate(s) at the first step and end with one or more final (organic or inorganic) products at the last step. For each pathway below, state the initial substrate(s) and final product(s). Pathways marked with (*) require either two substrates, two products, or both. A proton gradient could be considered a product. Do not count ATP or coenzymes as substrates/products here. (32 pts – 2 ea. substrate/product) initial substrate(s) final product(s) a) glycolysis (anaerobic conditions) b) glycogen biosynthesis c) Krebs cycle* d) electron transport* e) beta-oxidation f) urea cycle*

13. Answer part a) or b), NOT both. a) What will happen in a muscle cell if citrate is high? Think about ALL pathways now – including fatty acid metabolism. A successful answer will mention three key regulatory enzymes (2 ea.) and address at least four pathways (1 ea.) affected by this situation. It has to be reasonable to receive full credit. (10 pts) OR b) Describe the events of the Q cycle of Complex III. Begin with dihydroubiquinone binding the complex. Be sure to account for two electrons going to Complex IV. (10 pts)
