Interpretation:
Whether any step of citric acid cycle directly produces
Concept Introduction:
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Condensation Reaction: It involves combination of two small molecules to form larger molecule with elimination of small molecule.
Rearrangement Reaction: It involves change in the carbon chain of the molecule that results to give structural isomer.
Oxidative Decarboxylation: It involves removal of carboxylate group that results in release of carbon dioxide.
Phosphorylation: It involves transfer of phosphate group from inorganic/organic phosphate to another chemical compound.
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.
Hydration: The combination of substance with water is termed as hydration.
