Summary Introduction

To find: The molecules that are responsible for capturing energy in the redox reaction of the CAC (citric acid cycle) and the process of formation of ATP.

Introduction: Citric acid cycle is a cyclic metabolic pathway that involves the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to form carbon dioxide, water, and energy. CAC comprises 8 steps, which include multiple redox reactions, hydration, dehydration, and decarboxylation reactions.

VISUAL SKILLS During the redox reaction in glycolysis(see step 6 in Figure 9.9), which molecule acts as the oxidizing agent? The reducing agent?
Write out the citric acid cycle. Show specific structures for each step. DO NOT write anymechanisms but do show what leaves the cycle at each specific step. Include partial but revealingstructures for the coenzymes and co-substrates used in the cycle.
Write 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.
