Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction [3a] needs to be classified as oxidation, reduction or decarboxylation.
Concept Introduction:
During oxidation of compound electrons or hydrogens are lost or oxygen is gained. During the reduction of a compound, electrons or hydrogens are gained or oxygen is lost. Coenzymes act as oxidizing agents or reducing agents. Oxidizing agent drives the oxidation reaction and gets reduced. Reducing agent drives reduction reactions and gets oxidized. Decarboxylation is a reaction that removes the carboxyl group of a compound as CO2.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction [3b] needs to be classified as an oxidation, reduction or decarboxylation.
Concept Introduction:
During oxidation of compound electrons or hydrogens are lost or oxygen is gained. During the reduction of a compound, electrons or hydrogens are gained or oxygen is lost. Coenzymes act as oxidizing agents or reducing agents. Oxidizing agent drives the oxidation reaction and gets reduced. Reducing agent drives reduction reactions and gets oxidized. Decarboxylation is a reaction that removes the carboxyl group of a compound as CO2.
(c)
Interpretation:
The step in which NAD+ is necessary needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A coenzyme is a compound which involves in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Some coenzymes act as oxidizing or reducing agents.
(d)
Interpretation:
The reason due to which enzyme that catalyzes the given reaction is called isocitrate dehydrogenase needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Dehydrogenase is a class of enzymes that catalyzes the removal of hydrogens from a molecule.

Emphasise the instrumental capabilities relevant to trace compound analysis in the nominated food. Include the specific application name (eg: identification and quantification of mercury in salmon), outline a brief description of sample preparation procedures, and provide a summary of the obtained results from the analytical process.arrow_forwardIdentify and provide an explanation of what 'Seperation Science' is. Also describe its importance with the respect to the chemical analysis of food. Provide specific examples.arrow_forward5. Propose a Synthesis for the molecule below. You may use any starting materials containing 6 carbons or less (reagents that aren't incorporated into the final molecule such as PhзP do not count towards this total, and the starting material can have whatever non-carbon functional groups you want), and any of the reactions you have learned so far in organic chemistry I, II, and III. Your final answer should show each step separately, with intermediates and conditions clearly drawn. H3C CH3arrow_forward
