Lecture 12: Bridge reaction And TCA Flashcards
Where does glycolysis occur ?
Cytoplasm
Where is pyruvate transported into
Mitochondrion
Where does glycolysis occur in prokaryotes?
Cytoplasm
When does pyruvate enters mitochondrion
It enters the mitochondria on when oxygen is present
What is a bridge reaction
A preacher action connects glycolysis with citric acid cycle
What happens in the bridge reaction?
pyruvsteate is transported into mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl co-A
During the bridge reaction is there a reduction or oxidation of an electron carrier? What else happened
it is the reduction of NAD plus per pyruvate, release of carbon dioxide also occur
How many reactions occur in TCA
Eight
How many carbon dioxide is produced per cycle of TCA
2
What is gibbs free energy of all the reactions in the citric acid cycle
Exergonic -G
What is the total entropy of all the reactions in the TCA
positive entropy
What is substrate level phosphorylation
It is the production of ATP via enzyme reaction
How many atp,nadh,fadh2 do we get per acetyl coa
1,3,1
Where does TCA occur
mitochondrial matrix
