Interpretation: To determine the number of NADH molecules formed during one turn of the citric acid cycle.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
(a)

Answer to Problem 12.70EP
Three molecules of NADH are formed in step 3, 4 and 8 of the citric acid cycle.
Explanation of Solution
Step 3 is the first step where both the oxidation and decarboxylation occurs. Step 3 involves the oxidation of isocitrate and formation of CO2. In this step, firstly isocitrate is oxidized by
Step 4 involves the oxidation of
Step 8 is an oxidation reaction and the last step of the citric acid cycle. In step 8,
The reaction of step 8 is:
Hence, three molecules of NADH are formed in the citric acid cycle.

Interpretation: To determine the number of time oxidation-reduction reaction occur during one turn of the citric acid cycle.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
An overview of the citric acid cycle is as follows:
(d)

Answer to Problem 12.70EP
The oxidation-reduction reaction occurs four times in the citric acid cycle in step 3, 4, 6 and 8.
Explanation of Solution
Step 3 is the first step where both the oxidation and decarboxylation occurs. Step 3 involves the oxidation of isocitrate and formation of CO2. In this step, firstly isocitrate is oxidized by
Step 4 involves the oxidation of
In step 6, oxidation of succinate occurs to form fumarate. The enzyme involved in this step of the citric acid cycle is succinate dehydrogenase. FAD is the oxidizing agent in this step. This reaction takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The reaction of step 6 is:
Step 8 is an oxidation reaction and the last step of the citric acid cycle. In step 8,
