Much of the carbon dioxide that you expel in your breath comes from reactions catalyzed by which two enzymes of the citric acid cycle?

Succinyl CoA Synthetase and Aconitase

Malate Dehydrogenase and Succinyl CoA Synthetase

Fumarase and Succinate Dehydrogenase

Aconitase and Malate Dehydrogenase

Isocitrate Dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Ans:- Isocitrate dehydrogenase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

explanation:- in citric acid cycle isocitrate dehydrogenase convert D-isocitrate into -ketoglutarate in presence of NAD+ and release first molecule of CO2. -ketoglutarate get converted into succinyl co-A in presence of enzyme -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and NAD+. this reaction release another CO2 molecule in citric acid cycle. the reactions catalyse by other enzymes in citric acid cycle do not produce CO2.

One reason that explains the need for the isomerization step in the citric acid cycle is that________ citrate is a tertiary alcohol, which cannot be oxidized the substrate is inactive citrate is a β-keto acid and is unstable there are no enzymes that can catalyze this reaction In the CAC reaction with the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA,          the energy released is used to make GDP α-ketoglutarate is released the energy released is used to make GTP carbon dioxide is released

Background Almost all animal and plant cells require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange and it occurs by passive diffusion. Some animals do all or most of their gas exchange across their skin (for example amphibians) but they have very low metabolisms and use very little oxygen and get rid of very little carbon dioxide. On the other hand humans (and other mammals) have very high metabolic requirements and we can’t rely on gas exchange...
