You are doing a biochemical experiment and observed that addition of small amounts of oxaloacetate (OAA) or malate to suspensions of minced pigeon muscle tissue incubated in glucose solution quickly increased the observed CO2 production to levels about seven times more than amount of carbon added as OAA.
