Question

Organize the steps of the dihydroxyacetone phosphate/glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle.

a. an electron pair is transferred from FADH2 to coenzyme Q and down the electron chain.

b. DHAP is reduced by NADH in the glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate.

c. DHAP returns back to the cytosol.

d. flavin-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase converts glycerol-3-phosphate back to DHAP and reduces FAD to FADH2

Answer 1

The correct answer is - b, d, a, and c is correct order.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct steps of the dihydroxyacetone phosphate/glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is as follows -

DHAP or dihydroxyacetone phosphate is reduced by NADH in the glycerol-3-phosphate than flavin-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase transform glycerol-3-phosphate back to DHAP and reduced to FAD to FADH2.

Which is follows by the an electron pair is transport to the coenzyme Q from electron after that the DHAP returns to the back to the cytosol.
