Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which a reaction generates NADH is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of
(b)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which CO2 is removed is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide so as to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which FAD is utilized by the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide so as to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
(d)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which a single C-C bond is formed in the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide so as to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
