Question

In the malate-aspartate shuttle, _____ is reduced to _____ in the cytosol. oxaloacetate; malate aspartate; malate malate; aspartate malate; oxaloacetate aspartate; oxaloacetate

Answer 1

The malate-aspartate shuttle enables oxidative phosphorylation by allowing electrons to be moved across the inner membrane in the mitochondrion during glycolysis in eukaryotes.

In this malate-aspartate shuttle, oxaloacetate is reduced to malate in the cytosol.

• During this biochemical system process, the cytosolic malate dehydrogenase which is the primary enzyme present in this shuttle system catalyzes the reaction of oxaloacetate and NADH to produce malate and NAD in the cytosol.

• This system enables oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryotes.
