Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect of arsenite the loss of citrate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The citric acid cycle is a catabolic process. It is a series of chemical reactions in which the stored energy of the body is released by the oxidation of acetyl-Coenzyme A. Oxaloacetate is an intermediate of the Krebs cycle which binds to the acetyl-CoA in the synthesis of citrate. Arsenite is a chemical compound that contains an arsenic oxo-anion in which the arsenic has oxidation state +3.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Explanation for the modified action of arsenite due to the addition of more citrate.
