7. Each of the following vitamins is required for reactions in the oxidation of pyruvate to CO2 and H2O   except  ? (A) biotin. (B) pantothenate. (C) niacin. (D) thiamine. (E) riboflavin.

8. Which one of the following statements concerning biotin and gluconeogenesis is   not true  ? (A) Biotin is used to add CO2 to certain intermediates in gluconeogenesis. (B) CO2 is incorporated into the glucose product. (C) Biotin is capable of binding covalently to CO2. (D) Biotin helps synthesize an important precursor of phosphoenolpyruvate.

複選題9. Which of the following statements is   true  ? (A) One of the reason why the enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of citrate is called citrate synthase is because the reaction requires ATP.
