Chapter 24, Problem 31P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Linking reaction of glycolysis and citric acid cycle should be given.

Concept Introduction:

Glycolysis:

The conversion of glucose to pyruvate in the metabolism of living organisms is known as glycolysis.

Citric acid cycle:

The conversion of acetyl-CoA into $\text{CoASH}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in the serious of reaction is known as citric acid cycle.
