What is the 3 carbon sugar that is formed when glucose is split in half during the krebs's cycle?
pyruvic acid
In the Krebs cycle acetate combines with what 4-carbon compound?
oxaloacetic acid
What waste product formed during the Krebs cycle?
Carbon Dioxide is produced during the Kreb cycle (also called the citric acid cycle).
What is the main features of the Krebs cycle?
The Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion. It occurs only in aerobic conditions, that is, only when oxygen is present. Its main function is to oxidise acetyl CoA generated from glycolysis. In the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate undergo a condensation reaction to form a six-carbon compound. Through a series of decarboxylation and dehydrogenation reactions, intermediate 5-carbon and 4-carbon compounds are formed with the release of carbon dioxide. 1 ATP molecule is generated per turn of the Krebs cycle by substrate level phosphorylation; hence 2 ATP molecules are formed per molecule of glucose. Most fo the chemical energy is transferred during the redox reactions where the electron carriers NAD and FAD are reduced to form coenzymes NADH and FADH2, respectively. The Krebs cycle is also cyclic as the starting product, oxaloacetate, is regenerated.
Describe the formation of citric acid the first intermediate in the Krebs cycle?
The 4 carbon compound will bond with Acetyl CoA to form citric acid. The three different kinds of energy that are created during the Krebs cycle are NADH, FADH2 and ATP.
In Krebs cycle a six carbon compound is formed how?
citrus acid
What is a waste product formed during the Krebs cycle?
carbon dioxide
What is the 3 carbon sugar that is formed when glucose is split in half during the krebs's cycle?
pyruvic acid
In the Krebs cycle acetate combines with what 4-carbon compound?
oxaloacetic acid
What two molecules are lost in the Krebs cycle taking it from a six carbon compound to a five carbon compound to a four carbon compound?
Sodium and potasium
What is a series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and ends with same 6-carbon compound is the?
The Krebs Cycle
What waste product formed during the Krebs cycle?
Carbon Dioxide is produced during the Kreb cycle (also called the citric acid cycle).
What gas is in the Krebs cycle?
The gas evolved during the Krebs cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2).
True or false The compound that joins with a 4-carbon molecule in the krebs cycle is called acetyl-CoA?
It is true that the compound that joins with a 4-carbon molecule in the krebs cycle is called acetyl-CoA. It is also known as Acetyl coenzyme A.
What substances are formed during Krebs cycle?
acetyl coenzyme a
What is the series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and end with the same carbon compound?
