Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of CO2 molecules formed during one turn of the citric acid cycle.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and

Interpretation: To determine the number of FADH2 molecules formed during one turn of the citric acid cycle.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Flavin adenine dinucleotide exists in two forms: oxidized form
(c)
Interpretation: To determine the number of times secondary alcohol is oxidized during one turn of the citric acid cycle.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
An overview of the citric acid cycle is as follows:
