Chapter 19 Flashcards
what is the irreversible link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
The fate of Acetyl CoA when oxygen is present and energy is required is a complete _______ of the acetyl group by the _______ ________
Combustion
TCA Cycle
The citric acid cycle includes a series of oxidation-reduction reactions that ultimately result in the oxidation of the acetyl group to two molecules of
Carbon Dioxide
Oxidations generate high-transfer-potential or high-energy electrons that will be used to power the synthesis of
ATP
The function of the citric acid cycle is the harvesting of high-energy electrons from _______
carbon fuels
How many stages does the TCA cycle have?
2 stages
The first stage of the TCA cycle is when there is a condensation of Acetyle CoA (C2) with oxaloacetate (C4) and oxidation of 2 carbon units as__________
CO2
The second stage of the TCA cycle is with the regeneration of __________(C4)
Oxaloacetate
What is the common and Final catabolic pathway?
TCA Cycle
The two carbon acetyl unit condenses with the four carbon component of the citric acid cycle (OAA) to yield a six carbon _______ (tricarboxylic acid)
citrate
The six carbon compound releases Co2 twice, which yields _________ __________ leaving a 4 carbon compound.
high energy electrons
This four carbon compound is further oxidized to regenerate OAA, which then initiates another round of ______
TCA cycle
Acetyl CoA from carbohydate, protein and fat are completely oxidized to ____ & ______
Co2 & H20
Oxidations in the TCA cycle are ___________
dehydrogenations
The hydrogen acceptors of the TCA cycle are ______ & _______
NAD+ & FAD
