(a)
Interpretation:
The concept map that illustrates the relationship between pyruvate mitochondrial structure, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation has to be created.
Concept Introduction:
Pyruvate is an important chemical compound in biochemical pathways. It is formed by the
Mitochondria are capsule-shaped organelles similar to the size of a bacterial cell also known as the powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria are double-membrane organelle surrounded by an outer mitochondrial membrane and an inner mitochondrial membrane. The space between the outer membrane and inner membranes is called intermembrane space.
The citric acid cycle is a set of
Oxidative phosphorylation is the mechanism of energy production that occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria. This NADH from the citric acid cycle, is oxidized and establishes potential gradient across the boundary of the inner mitochondrial membrane and produces ATP catalyzed by different enzymes.
(b)
Interpretation:
The concept map that illustrates the stages of amino acid degradation has to be created.
Concept Introduction:
The general structure of
