Chapter 17, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To explain where the citric acid cycle occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Citric acid cycle is a combination of series of chemical reactions that take place to convert the Acetyl-Co-A to energy carrying products such as ATP and GTP. As this is a series of oxidation reactions, released electrons are used to convert NAD+ into NADH and FAD into FADH2.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To explain where the glycolysis occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Glycolysis is the series of reactions that converts carbohydrates like glucose to energy carrying molecules and Acetyl-CoA.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

To explain where the Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Oxidative Phosphorylation is the process of production of ATP by donating electron from NADH and FADH2 through a series of biochemical reactions.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

To explain where the fatty acid synthesis occurs and the starting product and end product.

Introduction:

Fatty acid synthesis is the series of chemical reaction that occur in the cell to produce fatty acids from Acetyl-CoA using fatty acid synthase enzymes

In the table below, choose the appropriate metabolic processes for each scenario: Metabolic Processes Process that Occurs in RBCs Process that Occurs Only in Liver Glycolysis A A Gluconeogenesis  B B Beta Oxidation C C Ketogenesis D D Ketolysis E E Urea Formation F F Glyconeogenesis G G
a) Describe the three irreversible reactions of the Citric Acid Cycle. Ensure to indicate their purpose/role, the substrates and products, the enzyme involved, and any significant features of the reaction. b) Why are these reactions considered irreversible (why can't they be reversed)? c) Using one of the reactions as an example, explain why it is important for the cell that the reaction is irreversible.
Which reactions of glycolysis can be reversed? Which are irreversible? What is the significance of the metabolically irreversible reactions?
