Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To list the steps, by number in the citric acid cycle that involves oxidation.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Oxidation step involves the oxidation of the reactant in that step of the citric acid cycle to produce the product.
(b)
Interpretation: To list the steps, by number in the citric acid cycle that involves isomerisation.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Isomerization step involves the isomerization of the reactant in that step of the citric acid cycle to produce the product.
(c)
Interpretation: To list the steps, by number in the citric acid cycle that involves hydration.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Hydration step involves the hydration of the reactant in that step of the citric acid cycle to produce the product.

EBK GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CH
- Describe two important roles of the citric acid cycle.arrow_forwardList the main features of the citric acid cyclearrow_forwardMethanol is highly toxic, not because of its own biological activity but because it is converted metabolically to formaldehyde, through action of alcohol dehydrogenase. Part of the medical treatment for methanol poisoning involves administration of large doses of ethanol. Explain why this treatment is effective.arrow_forward
- Describe how a) Mean Arterial Pressure, b) Maximal Oxygen Consumption, and c) Blood Flow are determined using its formula. In addition, you should explain what those factors are including cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, resistance, a-vO2 difference, etc. Describe how many ATPs can be generated by complete cycles of beta oxidation of free fatty acid with 20 carbons. You should indicate how many cycles of beta oxidation and Krebs cycle, and total number of products as wellarrow_forwardWrite out each of the eight chemical reactions of the citric acid cycle. Draw the structures of the reactants and the products and name the enzymes of each reaction.arrow_forwardWhy is it that the carboxylate "ions" actually partake in the citric acid cycle ratherthan the carboxylic acid? Explain using an examplearrow_forward
- Which of the reactants in the citric acid cycle have two chiral carbon atoms?arrow_forwardWhat do the following pathways provide for fatty acid synthesis? A. Citric acid cycle B. Pentose phosphate pathway C. Glycolysis D. Oxidative Phosphorylation. Single line text. give answer in 2-3 linesarrow_forwardDescribe the citric acid cycle's many functions.arrow_forward
- Define the following terms:a. adipocyteb. MCADc. ACPd. a-oxidatione. odd-chain oxidationarrow_forwardSuggest a name for the enzyme that catalyzes each of the following reactions. a. transfer of a phosphate from ATP to glycerol b. addition of water to fumarate c. isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphatearrow_forwardGlycogen phosphorylase degrades glycogen by: a. An hydrolysis reaction. b. An oxidation-reduction reaction. c. A phosphorolysis reaction. d. A transferase reactionarrow_forward
