(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.
