What is the isomer of citrate?
Isocitrate
What enzyme is used to form Malate?
Fumarase
The process where a molecule loses an electron
Oxidation
What does decarboxylation mean?
A molecule loses a carbon atom
Who is the founder of Krebs Cycle?
Hans Adolf Krebs
What is the byproduct produced after converting GTP to 1 ATP?
Succinate
What enzyme facilitates the formation of the byproduct Succinate?
Succinyl-CoA Synthetase
The process where molecules gains an electron
Reduction
What is the meaning of NAD?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
What is the meaning of FAD?
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
What is the byproduct when Isocitrate undergoes a reduction process by reducing NAD+ to NADH?
Alpha Ketoglutarate
What enzyme facilitates the entrance of acetate into the Krebs Cycle?
CoA
How many steps are there in the Krebs Cycle?
8 step process
How many ATP molecules were released in the Krebs Cycle per glucose molecule?
2 ATP molecules
What is the other term for Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
What byproduct is found in the first and last step of the Krebs Cycle?
Oxaloacetate
An enzyme that adds and removes water molecule in the process
Aconitase
How many carbon dioxide molecules were added and removed in the one whole cycle of Krebs Cycle?
2 CO2 molecules
In Krebs cycle, what does the enzymes with dehydrogenase do?
Reduces NAD+ to NADH/ FAD to FADH or transfers a hydrogen atom from NAD+ to NADH/ FAD to FADH
Explain what is Isomerization
Isomerization is the restructuring of a molecule while maintaining its chemical formula in order to make its structure more usable for the upcoming processes.
What byproduct in the Krebs Cycle has a 5 carbon atom?
Alpha Ketoglutarate
What reaction does the enzyme called Fumarase catalyze?
Hydration
Explain the process of how the release of CoA makes ATP molecule.
The release of CoA generates a potential energy in which it attracts inorganic phosphate and GDP. After obtaining GDP it fuses or combines to form GTP. The GTP can now be used to make ATP.
Give the 2 components used to form GTP (must be the full term not the acronym)
Inorganic Phosphate and Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP)
Explain the difference between NAD coenzymes (NAD+ and NADH) and FAD coenzymes (FAD and FADH2)
NADH involves 2 electron transfers, a hydrogen atom, and the coenzyme NAD+ (oxidized form) itself meanwhile
FADH2 involves 2 electron transfers, 2 hydrogen atoms and the coenzyme FAD (Oxidized Form) itself
