(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The location of 14C in the oxaloacetate after one turn of citric acid cycle when a brief pulse of [3-14C] pyruvate is added into mitochondria. Also determine the number of turns of cycle required to release all the [3-14C] pyruvate as CO2.

Introduction:

The series of metabolic reactions in which the energy stored in the compounds is released for the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is called “Krebs’s cycle or citric acid cycle”.
