40. The citric acid (CA) cycle is considered part of aerobic metabolism even though oxygen does not appear explicitly in any reaction because:
(A) it takes place in the mitochondrion.
(B) it contains oxidation reactions.
(C) the NADH and FADH₂ produced are reoxidized in the electron transport chain linked to oxygen.
(D) the reoxidation of NADH and FADH2 leads to the production of considerable quantities of ATP.
(E) None of above is correct.

複選題36. The enzymes of fatty acid oxidation are located in the mitochondria matrix, so free fatty acids must be transported through the shuttle into the mitochondria. Which of the following statements regarding the shuttle is correct? (A) Free fatty acid must be activated by a fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, through the hydrolysis of one high-energy bond in ATP, to yield a fatty acyl-CoA before entering the shuttle. (B) The enzyme responsible for esterifying carnitine with acyl-CoA in both inner and outer mitochondria membranes is the rate-limiting step for oxidation. (C) Coenzyme A in the cytosol is largely used in the oxidative degradation of fatty acids. (D) This shuttle plays a crucial role in transporting medium-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. (E) Fatty acyl-CoA destined for mitochondria oxidation must be attached to carnitine to be shuttled across the inner mitochondria membrane.

37. The unsaturated fatty acid contains one or more double bonds. Which of the following statements regarding the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acid is correct? (A) The double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids are in the cis configuration, making them to easily react with hydratase for oxidation. (B) When oxidizing an unsaturated fatty acid, the double bond must be first reduced to a single bond before it can be further processed in the beta-oxidation pathway. (C) The unsaturated fatty acid, compared to saturated fatty acid with the same carbon numbers, causes a change of acetyl-CoA production in the oxidation pathway. (D) The oxidation of a monounsaturated fatty acid may skip one reaction of dehydrogenation during beta-oxidation due to the presence of the cis double bond in the fatty acid chain. (E) The oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids requires the cofactor biotin to catalyze the reaction.
