Question
All of the following products of biosynthesis are nitrogen-rich tetrapyrrole structures that can be synthesized from Krebs cycle intermediates (in some plants, animals, or bacteria), with the exception of:
- triglyceride molecules
- chlorophyll b molecules
- vitamin B12 molecules
- chlorophyll a molecules
- heme molecules
Identify the Krebs cycle enzyme that consumes a six-carbon substrate molecule, producing a five-carbon product molecule along with NADH, and one molecule of CO2.
- succinyl CoA synthetase
- a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
- malate dehydrogenase
- isocitrate dehydrogenase
- citrate synthase

In addition, you should explain what those factors are including cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, resistance, a-vO2 difference, etc. Describe how many ATPs can be generated by complete cycles of beta oxidation of free fatty acid with 20 carbons.

This molecule was also generated during the metabolism of: urea amino acids O nitrogenous bases nucleotide sugars nitrogen gasarrow_forwardStrategies for regulating the central pathways in carbohydrate metabolism vary among different cells in one organism and among organisms. Slight changes in the regulation of enzymes in central metabolism can effectively re-route metabolite traffic through these pathways, just like a small mutation in PFK-1 can convert a healthy cell into a cancerous one. For instance, Gillaspera mold uses an alternative strategy for regulation the TCA and glycolysis. Gillaspera contains a unique isocitrate dehydrogenase that has an allosteric site for citrate. High citrate inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase in this organism. Gillaspera also lacks a citrate binding site on PFK-1, so this variant of the enzyme is not affected by citrate concentrations at all. Gillaspera lacks the enzymes ethanol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase and no carbons are lost in its unique fermentation product. Would high glucose in these organisms lead to production of carbon dioxide from glucose catabolism?…arrow_forward

Using curved arrows, show the mechanism of each step labeled with a blue letter. Draw out abbreviated structures of the coenzymes, so that you can effectively show all arrow pushing. You may abbreviate the coenzymes by putting R groups on the molecule, but do draw out the parts of the structure that are involved in the arrow pushing. Some of the transformations will require you to show multiple structures to show all of the arrow pushing (particularly some of the coenzyme-mediated steps). You do not need to show specific amino acid residues that perform the catalysis. You can abbreviate acidic amino acid residues “Enz–B–H” and basic residues “B–Enz”.arrow_forwardThe following image is a schematic of the metabolic processes occurring in a plant contained in a closed container.
