In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electron acceptor. In cells, the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] is kept very high. Given the following standard reduction potentials, explain why it is so important for cells to maintain this ratio. Justify your answer with words, equations and diagrams.
oxaloacetate + 2H+ + 2e- -> malate
E°red= -0.166 V
NAD+ + H+ + 2e- > NADH
E°red= -0.320

8. Here we are going to consider the differences between spectra and chromatograms. A list is given below of characteristics and behaviors of UV spectra and liquid chromatography. Some characteristics listed apply only to spectra. Other characteristics apply only to chromatography. And here’s the tricky bit, some characteristics apply to both. From the list below enter each characteristic that is correct for that instrumental plot on the line associated with that instrumental plot. Be careful, think about your choices, misplaced characteristics are negative points.
