Terms
enzyme that combines 2 molecules to create a new molecule using ATP hydrolysis.
What is a synthetase?
1 acetyl group from acetyl CoA
What are the inputs of the citric acid cycle?
high energy electrons
What are captured during the redox reactions in the citric acid cycle?
released partway through glyoxylate cycle and we retain the carbons which was funneled into other pathways to make glucose
What is succinate?
enzyme that combines 2 molecules to create a new molecule without ATP hydrolysis.
What is a synthase?
1 ATP, 1 FADH2, 3 NADH
What are the outputs of the citric acid cycle?
does not generate a lot of ATP
What is the citric acid cycle?
replenishing reactions; any intermediate can replenish the citric acid cycle. If oxaloacetate goes in, you end up with the intermediates needed to continue the cycle.
What are anaplerotic reactions?
2 allosteric enzymes: isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha ketogluturate dehydrogenase complex
What are the regulatory points of the citric acid cycle?
is embedded in the inner mitochondrial matrix and is involved in both the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
What is succinate dehydrogenase?
oxygen is the final electron acceptor and the high energy electrons have to go to oxygen
Why will the citric acid cycle stop without oxygen?
