Chapter 17, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To explain where the citric acid cycle occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Citric acid cycle is a combination of series of chemical reactions that take place to convert the Acetyl-Co-A to energy carrying products such as ATP and GTP. As this is a series of oxidation reactions, released electrons are used to convert NAD+ into NADH and FAD into FADH2.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To explain where the glycolysis occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Glycolysis is the series of reactions that converts carbohydrates like glucose to energy carrying molecules and Acetyl-CoA.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

To explain where the Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Oxidative Phosphorylation is the process of production of ATP by donating electron from NADH and FADH2 through a series of biochemical reactions.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

To explain where the fatty acid synthesis occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Fatty acid synthesis is the series of chemical reaction that occur in the cell to produce fatty acids from Acetyl-CoA using fatty acid synthase enzymes

Which of the following statements concerning the location of the metabolic pathways is correct?    a.   All reactions of the glycolysis take place in the mitochondria.   b.   All reactions of the TCA cycle take place in the mitochondria.   c.   Some reactions of the TCA cycle take place in the cytosol, and some in mitochondria.   d.   Some reactions of the glycolysis take place in the cytosol, and some in mitochondria.
Why must metabolic pathways be regulated? Cite three ways by which metabolic pathways are regulated.
In what part of the cell does the citric acid cycle take place? Does this differ from the part of the cell where glycolysis occurs?
