12. Select the answers (in brackets) that BEST complete each sentence (4pts): A. Carbon atoms in glucose are considered [fully reduced / partly oxidized / fully oxidized] because each carbon makes at least one bond with [another carbon/ hydrogen / oxygen]. B. Oxygen can pass through the mitochondrial membrane because it has [polar / nonpolar] character and is rather [large/small]. Multipart Short Answer (10pts) 1 A. Glycogen has two different kinds of glycosidic bonds. Name each kind of glycosidic linkage and explain the importance of each for glycogen structure (4 pts). 5 B. Explain what the NAD+ problem is. Then provide a reason for why gluconeogenesis is not a good solution for this problem (2 points). C. Imagine that the gene encoding succinate dehydrogenase complex C (SDHC, aka part of Complex II), had a mutation that decreased its affinity for electrons. With this mutation, complex Il can still function, but it is less efficient compared to a wild-type (non-mutated) SDHC. Predict how this mutation would affect the amount of ATP produced by OxPhos and explain your reasoning (4pts):
