Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The enzymes at the three control points in the citric acid cycle are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Citric acid cycle is the third stage in the oxidation of food. It begins with two carbon acetyl units. The acetyl units are formed by the oxidation of pyruvate obtained from glycolysis. It is termed as citric acid cycle as the key intermediate in the cycle is citric acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
An explanation as to how the control point inhibition by NADH and ATP enables the cell to be responsive to energy needs is to be stated.

(c)
Interpretation:
The benefit of the two control-point enzymes being activated by ADP to the regulation of the cell is to be stated.

- Explain why monitoring blood lactate levels might be a useful technique to gauge the amount of conditioning in an Olympic runner.arrow_forwardWhy does the body need so many different enzymes?arrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forward
