Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle having a reaction that generates FADH2 is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of
(b)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which an organic substrate gets oxidized is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide so as to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which NAD+ is utilized by the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
(d)
Interpretation:
The step in the citric acid cycle in which a single C-C bond is broken in the given reaction is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide to generate a form of working energy.
