Concept explainers
(a)
To draw: The substrate cycle formed by malic enzyme, pyruvate carboxylase and the third enzyme.
Concept introduction: The citric acid cycle is central to
(b)
To write: The net equation for converting malate to pyruvate and back to malate.
Concept introduction: The citric acid cycle is central to metabolism and hub for providing intermediates for biosynthesis of cellular molecules. Malate is one of the intermediate metabolites of the citric acid cycle that exits the cycle and enters the cytosolic molecular pool. .
To explain: The net equation for converting malate to pyruvate and back to malate and what does this accomplish for the cell.
