Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
How many steps can be classified as decarboxylation reactions in citric acid cycle?
Concept Introduction:
Citric acid cycle:
It is a series of reactions in mitochondria that oxidize acetyl residue (as acetyl −CoA) liberating reducing equivalents, which upon oxidation through ETC generate ATP.
Decarboxylation is the process of elimination of
(b)
Interpretation:
Identify the concurrent oxidizing agent in the each step of decarboxylation reaction in citric acid cycle.

- Identify the following intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and tell whether it has R or S stereochemistry:arrow_forwardWhy is the reaction that is catalyzed by E3 in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex not involved in the forming of the product (acetyl CoA) but still is important to the process of the complex? Explain why it is important.arrow_forwardwhat is the sterochemical outcome and draw the transition state responsible for steroinduction. -draw clearlyarrow_forward
- How much carbon dioxide is produced from the complete aerobic catabolism of one molecule of linoleate (18:2) via catabolic pathways show full workarrow_forwardIn the enzymatic reduction of methyl acetoacetate when the yeast was fermented in aerobic condition, what happens to the intensity of red color, will it increase or decrease ?arrow_forward1 In relation to the redox below from electron transport chain (SuccinateDehydrogenase) Show calculations that proof how oxidation of FADH2 by ubuiqinone(Q) theroteically liberates enough enrgy to drive synthesis of ATP. △G°‘ or ATP synthesis from ADP and π is +30.5kj/mol. Explain calculation in terms of how the oxidation of FAD Hz by ubiquinone supplies sufficient energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and π.arrow_forward
