(a)
Interpretation:
Analyzing the citric acid cycle (Figure 21.8) the steps involved in oxidation reactions should be identified
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
(b)
Interpretation:
The loss of carbon dioxide that is, the steps involved in decarboxylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Oxidative Decarboxylation: It involves removal of carboxylate group that results in release of carbon dioxide.
(c)
Interpretation:
The steps that involve hydration reaction in citric acid cycle should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Hydration: The combination of substance with water is termed as hydration.

- ..a) Draw all of the reactions that occur in the aerobic metabolism of glucose that hydrolyze a thiolester bond. In your answer, include complete structural formulae as well as the names of any cofactors, enzymes, reactants and products. b) Explain why the free energy changes that characterize these reactions are so exergonic. Include a figure in your answer. ( c) If you were to completely catabolize 3 molecules of glucose under aerobic conditions, what would the ATP yield be as a result of the reactions that you've drawn above?arrow_forwardIn tricarboxylic acid cycle, what are the reactions that involve the following : (write down complete reactions with enzymes): (a) oxidative decarboxylation (b) hydration and dehydrationarrow_forwardThere are eight chemical reactions that occur in the citric acid cycle process. The reactions of the citric acid cycle are shown in the figure below. Several classes of organic reactions like these classes include esterification, decarboxylation, hydration reactions, dehydration of alcohols, oxidation of alcohols, oxidation of aldehydes, reduction of aldehydes, and reduction of ketones. Find at least one of these reaction classes in the citric acid cycle. List the reaction number and the reaction. Write a sentence or two on how you were able to make the classification.arrow_forward
- Which of the reactants in the citric acid cycle have two chiral carbon atoms?arrow_forwardIn order for fatty acids to enter the mitochondria to be catabolized via β-oxidation, they must first be reacted with coenzyme A (reaction ①). Use the equations below to answer parts a-c. ① Fatty Acid + CoA → Fatty Acid—CoA ΔG = ??? ② ATP → AMP + PPi ΔG = ─45.6 kJ/mol ③ PPi → 2 Pi ΔG = ─19.2 kJ/mol ④ Fatty Acid + ATP + CoA → FA—CoA + AMP + 2 Pi ΔG = ─34 kJ/mol a) Calculate ΔG for reaction 1. b) Suppose the formation of the fatty acid--CoA proceeded via the reaction of ATP to ADP instead of AMP. Calculate ΔG for reaction 5. ① Fatty Acid + CoA → Fatty Acid—CoA ΔG = from part a ② ATP → ADP + Pi ΔG = ─30.5 kJ/mol ⑤ Fatty Acid + ATP + CoA → FA—CoA + ADP + Pi ΔG = ??? kJ c) So why does the…arrow_forward20) Determine the number of ATPS generated from complete oxidation of a) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) b) malate c) mead acid (20 carbons, AS8.11) Indicate where everything is coming from!
