Chapter 7, Problem 1TC

The compound malonate , a substrate of the citric acid cycle, can be poisonous at high concentrations because it can block cellular respiration. How might a substrate of the citric acid cycle block respiration when it is present in great excess?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The citric acid cycle generates NADH and FADH2, which are then used in the process of oxidative phosphorylation to make ATP. If the citric acid cycle (which does not use oxygen) and oxidative phosphorylation are separate processes, as they are, then why is it that the citric acid cycle stops almost immediately when O2 is removed?
The end product of glycolysis, pyruvate, cannot enter as such into the citric acid cycle. Which process converts this C3 compound to a C2 compound?
To reduce six molecules of carbon dioxide to one molecule of glucose via photosynthesis, how many molecules of NADPH and ATP are required?
