CAC Flashcards
0
Q
Synthase vs. Synthetase
A
Synthase requires no input of energy.
Synthetase requires energy.
1
Q
Where do majority of the enzymes required for the CAC exist?
A
Matrix of the mitochondria. They are water soluble
2
Q
Which enzyme is NOT water soluble and exists in the inner mitochondrial membrane?
A
Succinate dehydrogenase
3
Q
Fumarate: Cis or trans?
A
Trans
4
Q
Inhibitors of the CAC and enzymes inhibitied
A
Isocitrate dehydrogenase: ATP and NADH
Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex: ATP, succinyl CoA, and NADH
5
Q
Activators of the CAC and enzymes activated
A
Isocitrate dehydrogenase: ADP
6
Q
Anaplerotic reaction + one example
A
replenishing reactions; prominent example is pyruvate carboxylase (pyruvate to oxaloacetate)
