Answer #1

Initially, labelled 14C acetyl CoA unergoes reaction with unlabelled oxaloacetate and this starts the TCA cycle. As the amount of 14C acetyl CoA is limited only one cycle occurs. All the intermediates in the cyle are labelled and finally oxaloacetate is also labelled. Carbon di oxide which emerges during the first turn does not have any labelling. This clearly means that carbon atoms of acetyl CoA do not correspond to the carbon of carbon di oxide, which is emerged during the first turn.

One molecule of acetyl CoA generates the following in the citric acid cycle: 3 NADH, 1 FADH2 and 1 GTP. A single round of b-oxidation generates: 1 NADH and 1 FADH2. How much ATP is generated from a C-10 fatty acid after it has been completely metabolized to CO2 and H2O? FADH2=2ATP and NADH=3ATP in electron transport.

ii. During the transfer of acetyl CoA from the mitochondrion to the cytosol, malate will be generated in the cytosol. Although malate can be brought back into the mitochondrion directly, it will instead be converted into pyruvate which then enters the mitochondrion. Why does this happen? 1 point a. The conversion of malate into pyruvate generates NADPH which can be used in fatty acid synthesis. b. Movement of malate into the mitochondrion requires a lot of energy. c. In the...

Continue to draw citric acid cycle intermediates up until a 14C-labeled CO2 molecule is generated by the cycle. How many turns of the citric acid cycle must be made before 14CO2 is released? Which enzymatic reaction in the citric acid cycle first catalyzes the release of 14CO2? The 14C-labled CO2 molecule is from the orginal Carbon #2 carbon on the frutose molecule.
