Answers and markscheme
1 (a) (i) matrix of the mitochondrion; 1 (ii) glycolysis; 1 (b) (i) C between
6C and 5C; 5C and 4C; between pyruvate and acetyl CoA; 2 max
(ii) H at:
NAD NADH in link reaction; 3 places where NAD NADH in Krebs cycle; FAD FADH in Krebs cycle; 3
(c) reduced in, glycolysis / link reaction / Krebs;
transports electrons / hydrogen ions; to inner membrane of mitochondrion; oxidised; releases electrons and hydrogen ions; used in ETC to form gradient of hydrogen ions; used to drive synthesis of ATP; 3
(d) mammals
pyruvate is, reduced / converted, to lactate; NAD red is oxidised; one step reaction / catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase; yeast pyruvate is decarboxylated; CO2 is produced; ethanal; reduced / converted, to ethanol; 4 max
(e) oxygen is needed for the final step;
final, hydrogen / electron, acceptor; without it NAD red is not oxidised; 3

(ii) 30 [however derived] = 2 marks [Note; question concerns ATP made in mitochondria only]
If incorrect figure given then only 1 max possible – check working
for any two correct intermediate figures in correct context, e.g.:
2.5 x 10 [from NADH] AND 1.5 x 2 [from FADH] = 1 mark
OR
2 x 2.5 (from glycolysis NADH) AND 2ATP (from Krebs cycle) = 1 mark 2
