Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fuel that is required by the citric acid cycle is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The cycle which represents the set of
(b)
Interpretation:
The form of carbon atoms in which they are eliminated from the citric acid cycle is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The cycle which represents the set of chemical reactions that are utilized by all the aerobic or living organisms which helps them in releasing the stored amount of energy by the oxidation process of acetyl-CoA is known as citric acid cycle. This acetyl-CoA is obtained from the carbohydrates, protein and fats in the form of ATP.
(c)
Interpretation:
The form of hydrogen atoms and electrons in which they are eliminated from the citric acid cycle is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
