11. If glucose is labeled with 14C, what molecule will become radioactive as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are completed? [Hint]

12. If glucose is labeled with 18O, what molecule will become radioactive as glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are completed? [Hint]

13. What would have been the result of Krebs and Johnson’s experiment if the Krebs cycle were linear instead of circular? [Hint]

16. Why does NADH donate electrons to the beginning of the electron transport chain, whereas FADH2 donates electrons to the middle of the chain? [Hint]

17. A proton ionophore, a molecule that forms an artificial channel allowing hydrogen ions to cross membranes, will ______ the concentration of ATP in a cell. [Hint]

18. If a cell is treated with a drug that inhibits ATP synthase, the pH in the mitochondrial matrix will [Hint]

19. If oxygen is removed from a cell, the concentration of lactate will [Hint]

20. Glucose can be converted to fatty acid, but fatty acid cannot be converted to glucose. What does this result suggest? [Hint]
