(a)
Interpretation: To determine the two citric acid cycle intermediates involved in the reaction governed by an enzyme
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Enzymes are the biological molecules that are used to accelerate the
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the two citric acid cycle intermediates involved in the reaction governed by enzyme succinate dehydrogenase.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
An overview of the citric acid cycle is as follows:
Enzymes are the biological molecules that are used to accelerate the rate of the reaction. They are required for completion of various functions of the body.

- Why are so many different enzymes needed?arrow_forwardPut the following substances in the correct order in which they are first encountered in the common metabolic pathway: succinate, FeSP, CO2, FADH2.arrow_forwardLactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the following equilibrium reaction in both liver and muscle cells: pyruvate+NADH+H+lactate+NAD+ In terms of equilibrium, explain why lactate must be removed from muscle cells under anaerobic conditions and why lactate does not accumulate in the liver under these conditions. Hint: Think of the Cori cycle.arrow_forward
- The 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_forwardThe metabolic reactions that build new molecules inarrow_forwardWhat is the most biochemical reactions inside our body need to speed up?arrow_forward
