The number of
Concept Introduction:
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Condensation Reaction: It involves combination of two small molecules to form larger molecule with elimination of small molecule.
Rearrangement Reaction: It involves change in the carbon chain of the molecule that results to give structural isomer.
Oxidative Decarboxylation: It involves removal of carboxylate group that results in release of carbon dioxide.
Phosphorylation: It involves transfer of phosphate group from inorganic/organic phosphate to another chemical compound.
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Hydration: The combination of substance with water is termed as hydration.

- match the cofactor with its function in the citric acid cycle by entering the number corresponding with the function. A given function may be used more than one time or not at all. Use from the following list of functions to fill in the table below: carries O2 carries small carbon-containing molecules carries e- carries small nitrogen-containing molecules Cofactor Function NAD+/NADH  FAD/FADH2  CoA  thiamine  biotinarrow_forwardWhat are the substrates and products of the net reaction corresponding to one turn of the citric acid cycle?arrow_forwardHow does each of the following regulate citric acid cycle?(a) High levels of Succinyl-CoA(b) High levels of ADP(c) High levels of NADHarrow_forward
- Name the molecules that conserve most of the energy from the redox reactions of the citric acid cycle (see Figure 9.12). How is this energy converted to a form that can be used to make ATP?arrow_forwardSince no molecular oxygen participates in the citric acid cycle, the steps in which acetyl groups are oxidized to CO2 involve removal of hydride ions and hydrogen ions. What is the acceptor of hydride ions? What is the acceptor of hydrogen ions?arrow_forwardWhat step in the citric acid cycle is inhibited by fluoroacetate treatment?arrow_forward
- Why, do you suppose, the coenzyme for the reaction in the citric acid cycle that is catalyzed by succinate dehydrogenase is FAD and not NAD+?arrow_forwardHow is succinate dehydrogenase unique compared with the other enzymes in the citric acid cycle?arrow_forwardHow many turns of the citric acid cycle are implicated in accounting for the net oxidation of one (1) mole of fructose to carbon dioxide and water?arrow_forward
