(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediate in the citric acid cycle which contains two chiral centers is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of
(b)
Interpretation:
The intermediate in the citric acid cycle which contains a secondary alcohol 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.

The citric acid cycle The conversion of pyruvate Oxidative Phosphorylation O Glycolysisarrow_forwardThe enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is part of the pentose pathway for glucose oxidation. What enzyme that is involved in glucose oxidation by the citric acid cycle has a very similar reaction mechanism to 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase? A) isocitrate dehydrogenase B) alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase C) succinate dehydrogenase D) malate dehydrogenase E) pyruvate dehydrogenase (99+ RATI aarrow_forwardA portion of the citric acid cycle is shown below.

- For the following carbohydrates, please indicate the TRUE alternative: (a) The carbohydrate V is reducing and is hydrolyzed by an enzyme of the type β galactosidase (b) Carbohydrate VI is not reducing or mutating. (c) Carbohydrates I and IV have β-glucosidic bond, while carbohydrate II has α-glucosidic bond. (d) Carbohydrate III is neither reducing nor hydrolyzed by an α-type enzyme such as maltase. (e) Carbohydrate I is reducing and mutating.arrow_forwardThe image below shows the reactions of the citric acid cycle. Label the reaction types on the diagram.

In glycolysis, the rate limiting step is a phosphorylation reaction where phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) catalyzes the reaction fructose-6-bisphosphate -> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the same step in gluconeogenesis. Select one: The statement is FALSE. The statement is TRUE.arrow_forward
- Stearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.arrow_forward. Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM, respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be about 1.2 g/cm'. (a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone? (b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as well, how long could contraction continue? (c) What do these answers tell you?arrow_forwardAcetyl COA (ACC) is a critically important molecule in metabolic pathways. This molecule can be used for gluconeogenesis or fatty acid synthesis. It can also proceed through the TCA cycle to generate energy. ACC is also hormonally regulated. Hormones induce a phosphorylation cascade which can activate or deactivate ACC. Which of these hormones would activate ACC? A) glucagon B) insulin C) epinephrine D) glucose E) testosteronearrow_forward
