Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The intermediates that present as tricarboxylic acids in citric acid cycle should be given.

Concept introduction:

Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally polymerized to give new proteins.

Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2 CO2 molecules.

Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.

Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.

Enzyme: The proteins that helps chemical reaction to occur.

Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.

Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.

Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
