Question

The shuttle system for the transfer of aceytl coa generated in the mitochondrial matrix includes:_____.

a. citrate from the citric acid cycle.
b. citrate lyase in the cytosol.
c. ATP hydrolysis.
d. the production of NADPH by malic enzyme.
e. all of the above.

Answer 1

e. all of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acetyl-CoA is a biochemical agent, in which its main function is to transport acetyl group to the citric acid cycle. It works in metabolic reactions of protein, carbohydrate, and lipid

Acetyl-CoA is transported through the mitochondrial membrane, and enters the cytoplasm of the cell, as the molecule citrate.

The shuttle system for transfer of acetyl-CoA generated in the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol includes:

1. citrate from the citric acid cycle.

2. citrate lyase in the cytosol.

3. ATP hydrolysis.

4. the production of NADPH by malic enzyme.

Hence, the right answer is option E: All of the above.
