Chapter 12, Problem 12.130EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Riboflavin is needed or not for the proper functioning of the CAC has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Citric acid cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and CoA-SH. Carbon dioxide produced is exhaled out in the breathing process. The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH₂) is also produced. An overview of the citric acid cycle is:

The B-vitamins consist of a group of vitamins that are water soluble and acts as precursors for enzyme cofactors.

(b)
