Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The intermediates that present as tricarboxylic acids in citric acid cycle should be given.
Concept introduction:
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.

- Write the reaction for the oxidation of ascorbic acid catalyzed by ascorbic acid oxidase.arrow_forwardOxaloacetic acid (or 2‑ketosuccinic acid) is a very important intermediate in metabolism. The compound is involved in the citric acid cycle for energy production within the cell. However, the compound is unstable and slowly decomposes spontaneously. Draw the decomposition products.arrow_forwardWhat is the activating group used in the formation of phosphoacylglycerols?arrow_forward
