dependent isocitrate dehydroginase, and a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase - CORRECT

this variation of the citric acid cycle permits net synthesis of ________ from acetyl-CoA -
CORRECT ANSWER-the glyoxylate cycle, which operates only in plants, bacteria, and
fungi, requires the glyoxysomal enzymes isocitrate lyase and malate synthase.

, **all broken down to acetyl CoA for oxidation - CORRECT ANSWER-main fuel sources
for citric acid cycle:
(1)pyruvate from glycolysis
(2)fatty acids from oxidation in mitochondria
(3)amino acids from urea cycle
**all broken down to acetyl CoA for oxidation
citric acid cycle =
-8 rxns that oxidize the acetyl group of acetyl CoA into __ molecules of CO2
-produces NADH, FADH2, _____
-cycle is named after the first rxn's product; citrate
-oxaloacetate consumed in the first step is regenerated in the last step - CORRECT
ANSWER-citric acid cycle =
-8 rxns that oxidize the acetyl group of acetyl CoA into 2 molecules of CO2
-produces NADH, FADH2, GTP
-cycle is named after the first rxn's product; citrate
-oxaloacetate consumed in the first step is regenerated in the last step
acetyl CoA = product of pyruvate dehydrogenase rxn
NADH, FADH2 = enters electron transport system
GTP = converted to ATP
CO2 = diffuses out of cell to RBC and Hb
