Chapter 26, Problem 57P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The effect on energy yield if a mutation in the enzyme succinate dehydrogenases caused it to use ${\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$ as a cofactor instead of FAD should be explained.

Concept Introduction: In the aerobic respiration, there are two steps mainly. Glycolysis is the first step that forms pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters in the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer.

The products of citric acid cycles act as precursors for electron transport chains and produces ATP as energy coins.
