Question

Which of the following statements is/are not true?
a) One ATP yields 32 kJ of energy.
b) Pentose phosphate pathway was discovered by Dickens.
c) When tripalmitin is used as a substrate, R.Q. is 0.7.
d) Energy released by one molecule of glucose on complete oxidation corresponds to 1292 kJ.

• A. a, b and d
• B. a and d
• C. c and d
• D. a, c and d
• E. c only

Answer 1

The correct option is A a, b and d

• One ATP yields 7.15 kcal energy and energy released by one molecule of glucose is 38 ATP or 1164 kJ of energy.
• The pentose phosphate pathway or phosphogluconate pathway was discovered by Otto Warburg.
• The respiratory quotient is the ratio of the volume of $C{O}_2$ produced to the volume of $O_2$ consumed in respiration. For fats such as tripalmitin ($C_{51}{H}_{98}{O}_6$) is 0.7.
• One molecule of glucose on complete oxidation liberate 2870kJ of energy.

So, the correct answer is "a, b and d".
