Figure 1
(b)
Interpretation:
The four compound with four dicarboxylic acid groups present in citric acid cycle should be arranged from least to most oxidized.
Concept Introduction:
Carboxylic acid: One
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
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.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.

- (a) Convert the ball-and-stick model of B, one of the eight synthetic intermediates in the citric acid cycle, to a structural formula, and name the compound. (b) What is the immediate precursor of B in the citric acid cycle; that is, what compound forms B as a reaction product? (c) What compound is formed from B in the citric acid cycle?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a true statement regarding sphingolipid synthesis? (A) The first step in sphingolipid synthesis is the condensation of palmitoyl CoA with aspartate to form b-ketosphinganine.(B) This process requires the reduction of a ketone that uses NADH as the reducing agent.(C) A fatty acid is attached to dihydrosphingosine to form dihydroceramide. (D) FAD is using as an oxidizing agent to remove a double bond from dihydroceramide.(E) The formation of sphingomyelin requires the attachment of a glucose or galactose molecule to ceramide.arrow_forwardDescribe how a) Mean Arterial Pressure, b) Maximal Oxygen Consumption, and c) Blood Flow are determined using its formula. 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. You should indicate how many cycles of beta oxidation and Krebs cycle, and total number of products as wellarrow_forward

Identify these groups as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols.arrow_forwardWhen some of the carbons of glutamate are converted to glycogen, what is the order of the following compounds in that pathway?(a) Glucose (b) Glutamate(c) Glycogen (d) Oxaloacetate(e) x-Ketoglutarate (f) Phosphoenolpyruvatearrow_forwardWhat substance acts as the starting point of the citric acid cycle, reacting with acetyl-CoA in the first step and being regenerated in the last step? Draw its structure.arrow_forward
- Oxidative phosphorylation has three reaction products.(a) What is the energy-carrying product?(b) What are the other two products?arrow_forwardThe citric acid cycle can be divided into two stages. In one stage, carbon atoms are added and removed, and in the second stage, oxaloacetate is regenerated. Which steps of the citric acid cycle correspond to each stage?arrow_forward20) Determine the number of ATPS generated from complete oxidation of a) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) b) malate c) mead acid (20 carbons, AS8.11) Indicate where everything is coming from!
