Assuming that all the 14C-labeled Acetyl-CoA formed enters the
citric acid cycle at the same time, draw the citric acid cycle
intermediates up to and including malate, and indicate the position
of the 14C-label in each intermediate.
Part A - Carbon atoms in acetyl CoA formation and the citric acid cycle
During acetyl CoA formation and the citric acid cycle, all of the carbon atoms that enter cellular respiration in the glucose molecule are released in the form of CO2. Use this diagram to track the carbon-containing compounds that play a role in these two stages.
Drag the labels from the left (which represent numbers of carbon atoms) onto the diagram to identify the number of carbon...
What is the term for conversion of acetyl CoA into energy in the
form of ATP in the presence of oxygen?
a. oxidative phosphorylation
b. citric acid cycle
c. proton gradient
d. cellular respiration
e. electron-transport chain
Compare the energy cost, in ATP equivalents, of synthesizing
stearate from mitochondrial acetyl-CoA to the energy recovered
by
degrading stearate to CO2
.
inThe citric acid cycle there are three reactions of the citric
acid cycle it's self that are regulated:
-citrate synthase which is where ATP inhibits in in
citeo
-isocitrate dehydrogenase: alosterrically activated by Ca2+
and ADP also is inhibited by NADH
- alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase which is where Ca2+
increases the rate of formation of succinyl-CoA
what would happen if all three of these reactions were not
present? what would happen if citrate synthase was not functioning,
what would happen...
Which reactions in the citric acid cycle are irreversible under
physiological conditions, and for each of these reactions, explain
why the reaction is irreversible.
To enhance gluconeogenesis using acetyl CoA from the oxidation
of fatty acids, the normal TCA cycle is turned off by
phosphorylation of ___ and the glyoxylate cycle is turned on,
instead. This cycle uses two acetyl-CoA to produce one ___ , which
is also substrate for gluconeogenesis.
Select one:
a. isocitrate dehydrogenase ; oxaloacetate
b. isocitrate lyase ; citrate
c. isocitrate dehydrogenase ; citrate
d. isocitrate lyase ; oxaloacetate
e. None of these
