Summary Introduction

To determine: Why addition of oxaloacetate or malate stimulates oxygen consumption.

Introduction:

Hans Krebs also used the minced pigeon as a part of his experiments; the minced pigeon breast is mitochondria rich. He could observe the activity of citric acid cycle by measuring the amount of oxygen being consumed.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Why the amount of oxygen consumed was much greater than the amount required for oxidation.

Introduction:

OAA and malate are very important parts of TCA cycle, malate gets convert into OAA and OAA restarts the cycle. TCA cycle is an aerobic process which requires oxygen for production of energy.
