Which molecule can be made from acetyl CoA molecules?
Pyruvate
What are the products of acetyl CoA formation from a molecule of pyruvate?
You gain 1 NADH and acetyl CoA during the conversion of 1 pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
How many acetyl CoA molecules may be obtained from oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid?
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
What is the product of pryuvate processing?
Acetyl CoA
Location of Acetyl CoA in a cell?
Acetyl coenzyme A is in the mitochondria of the cell.
What is the name of the molecule that pyruvates are changed into during pyruvates processing?
Acetyl CoA
What compound enters the Krebs cycle and is made from the last compound?
Acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Kreb's cycle.
Is acetyl coa an enzyme?
Not exactly. Acetyl CoA is a coenzyme and participates in the Kreb cycle. It is made from the mitochondria and not from ribosomes, nad usually is a vitamin or mineral.
Before Krebs cycle can proceed pyruvate must be converted into what?
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
Which molecule can be made from acetyl CoA molecules?
Pyruvate
What metabolites enter the citric acid cycle and is formed in part by the removal of a carbon from one molecule of pyruvate?
Acetyl CoA
What are the products of acetyl CoA formation from a molecule of pyruvate?
You gain 1 NADH and acetyl CoA during the conversion of 1 pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
How many acetyl CoA molecules may be obtained from oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid?
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Forms when pyruvic acid reacts with enzyme coa?
acetyl CoA
What starts the cycle?
Acetyl COA
What happens to acetyl CoA if its not needed in the Krebs cycle?
Acetyl CoA is multifunctional; it can be used to produce fat or ATP. If the body needs energy, acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle. If the body doesn't need energy, acetyl CoA is channelled into an anabolic pathway that synthesizes lipids as a way of storing large amounts of energy as fat.
How carbs proteins and fats can be converted to pyruvate glucose andor acetyl CoA and get used to make ATP or stored as fat?
Acetyl CoA
