Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fuel that is required by the citric acid cycle is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The cycle which represents the set of
(b)
Interpretation:
The form of carbon atoms in which they are eliminated from the citric acid cycle is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The cycle which represents the set of chemical reactions that are utilized by all the aerobic or living organisms which helps them in releasing the stored amount of energy by the oxidation process of acetyl-CoA is known as citric acid cycle. This acetyl-CoA is obtained from the carbohydrates, protein and fats in the form of ATP.
(c)
Interpretation:
The form of hydrogen atoms and electrons in which they are eliminated from the citric acid cycle is to be identified.

- Using symbolic formulas such as ADP and PPi, write equations for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP.arrow_forwardWhat is metabolism and where is energy produced in cells?arrow_forward18. Amino acids that are degraded into are termed ketogenic. O a. a-ketoglutarate b. oxaloacetate c. fumarate d. acetyl CoAarrow_forward
- 1a) Under aerobic conditions, what is the net production of ATP under glycolysis? a. 2 ATP b. 4 ATP c. 36 ATP d. None of the above 1b). What reaction occurs when NAD+ is converted to NADH + H+? a. Hydrolysis b. Oxidation c. Reduction d. Phosphorylatioarrow_forwardwhat is the definition of energy from a metabolic perspective?arrow_forward17. In the urea cycle, ions are converted to urea. a. рpyruvate b. sodium C. ammonium O d. glutamatearrow_forward
- What are the four stages of metabolism?arrow_forwardWhich statements describe electron transport chain events? Two electrons pass between cytochromes through a series of redox reactions. Citrate metabolism results in the formation of one FADH2 and three NADH. NADH releases two hydrogen ions and donates two electrons to coenzyme Q. ATP synthase uses the energy from the redox reactions to generate ATP.arrow_forward6. An element used in the body in the form of ions or compounds. a. anabolism b. catabolism Oc. complete protein Od. complex carbohydrate e. macronutrient f. major mineral g. metabolism h. micronutrient Di. mineral Oj. mitochondria k. nutrition I. trace mineralarrow_forward

It is associated with food consumption a. thermogenic effect b. basal metabolic rate c. Physical activity d. environmental temperature 3.) It's our daily energy expenditure a. basal metabolic rate b. environmental temperature c. thermogenic effect d. physical activityarrow_forwardWhat is the most biochemical reactions inside our body need to speed up?arrow_forwardDuring exercise, oxygen is used up rapidly which slows down the rate of the common catabolic pathway. which causes Excess pyruvate ends up as painful muscle contrations. A. Acetaldehyde B. Ethanol C. Lactate D. Acetyl COAarrow_forward
