A

CoASH + 3 NADH + [FADH2] + GTP + 2 CO2 + 3 H+

16
Q

Simple combustion of acetate

A

acetate + 2 O2 + H+ = 2 CO2 + 2 H2o

17
Q

Anapleurotic reaction of Acetyl CoA

A

fatty acids

18
Q

Anapleurotic rxn of a-ketoglutarate

A

Glutamate which could be used to make purines

19
Q

anapleurotic rxn of Succinyl CoA

A

can be used to make d-aminolevulinate which can be used to porphyrins

20
Q

Fumarate and OAA in an anapleurotic rxn can produce

A

aspartate which can be used to make pyrimidines

21
Q

Arsenic poisoning

A

inhibits dehydrogenases (pyruvate DH and succinate DH) and Complex IV
affects DH in glycolysis and gluconeogenic pathways
so inhibits both aerobic and anaerobic pathways

22
Q

how is a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex regulated?

A

AMP activates
NADH inhibits
Succinyl CoA inhibits

23
Q

How is isocitrate dehydrogenase regulated?

A

Inhibited by ATP and NADH

upregulated by ADP

24
Q

how is citrate synthase regulated?

A

Inhibited by ATP, NADH and Succinyl CoA

25
Q

how is pyruvate dehydrogenase regulated?

A

Inhibited by ATP, Acetyl CoA, NADH

upregulated by NAD+ and CoA

26
Q

how is pyruvate carboxylase regulated?

A

upregulated by Acetyl CoA
