Get started for freeWhat condition is needed in the cell to convert pyruvate to acetyl CoA?
Most metabolic pathways are not considered cycles. Why is the citric acid cycle considered to be a metabolic cycle?
Consider the complete oxidation of oleic acid, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{COOH}\), which is an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid. a. How many acetyl CoA units are produced? b. How many cycles of \(\beta\) oxidation are needed? c. How many ATPs are generated from the oxidation of oleic acid?
Match the following ATP yields to reactions \(\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{g}\) : \(\begin{array}{llll}2 \text { ATP } & \text { 3 ATP } & \text { 6ATP } & \text { 12 ATP }\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{lll}\text { 18 ATP } & \text { 36 ATP } & \text { 44 ATP }\end{array}\) a. Glucose forms two pyruvates. b. Pyruvate forms acetyl CoA. c. Glucose forms two acetyl CoAs. d. Acetyl CoA goes through one turn of the citric acid cycle. e. Caproic acid \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{6}\right)\) is completely oxidized. f. \(\mathrm{NADH}+\mathrm{H}^{+}\) is oxidized to \(\mathrm{NAD}^{+}\). g. FADH \(_{2}\) is oxidized to FAD.
