When oxaloactic acid and Acetyl-CoA combine what product is created?
Citric acid and Coenzyme ASH (reduced CoA).
Is citric acid inorganic or organic?
From a chemical perspective? It's an organic compound, it contains carbon. Was it organically produced, that is, made without pesticides? Maybe. Probably not if the label doesn't say. --- I am not sure of understanding the question : If organic refers to 'organically grown' or 'certified organic farming', etc : May be citric acid can be extracted from some organically grown fruits in a way that would match an organic certification standard, and therefore qualify for an 'organic' labelling. Nevertheless, I would be quite puzzled at reading this on some food packaging. An other way of understanding the question is that there can be 'organic' sources for citric acid (ex. some fruits) by contrast with 'non organic' sources of citric acid (chemical synthesis). According to USDA National Organic Program regulation 205.605, nonagricultural citric acid may be used as an ingredient in processed products labeled as "organic" or "made with organic citric acid" only if it is produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrate substances.
Citric acid belongs to what organic group?
Carboxylic group (−COOH)
How many CO2 are produced during the transition reaction and the citric acid cycle per glucose molecule?
Two Co2 molecules are produced per citric acid cycle. Since the citric acid cycle occurs twice with every molecule of glucose metabolized, a total of 4 C02 molecules are produces for every glucose molecule
What is acethyl CoA?
What is Coenzyme A?Photosynthetic plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Using their photosynthetic products (ATP, NAD(P)H, and carbon skeleton), plants have unique ability to assimilate soil and atmospheric elements into compounds usable by human and animals. Photosynthesis provides carbon precursors and cofactors for many of the essential plant biosynthetic pathways, of which coenzyme A (CoA) is one of their products.Function of Coenzyme A in PlantsCoenzyme A is a cofactor for 4% of the enzymes in plants. Coenzyme-a is converted into acyl-coenzyme-A (CoA), mainly acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA), upon reaction with carbohydrate catabolites. Acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA) is a key substrate in important metabolisms such as citric acid cycle (TCA cycle), fatty acid, some amino acids, flavonoid, wax, isoprenoid, lignin synthesis and storage lipid degradation. These biochemical pathways generate intermediate metabolites that play a role in the adaptation of the plant to changing environmental conditions, defense against pests, nutritional value, pigment and structural component synthesis. Acetyl-coenzyme-a (CoA) also mediates synthesis of secondary metabolites (natural products) of pharmaceutical and industrial significance.
Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?
Amino acids, which are the monomers of protein, other proteins and organic acids, such as citric acid, acetic acid or fatty acid.
Is citric acid an organic compound?
Yes, citric acid is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C6H8O7.
Is Citric acid a mineral acid?
No. Citric acid is an organic acid
What escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle?
coenzyme A (CoA)
When oxaloactic acid and Acetyl-CoA combine what product is created?
Citric acid and Coenzyme ASH (reduced CoA).
Which one is organic acid citric or sulphuric or nitric or phosphoric?
Citric acid
How many Acetyl coenzyme A molecules are generated from one molecule of glucose?
2: Two molecules of acetyl CoA molecules are produced by one glucose molecule, since each full round of the citric acid cycle yields one, and it takes 2 full completions because glucose yields two pyruvates. (:

What are the nutrients for citric acid?
Citric acid is an organic acid, found in lemons, it is not a nutrient and neither does it contain nutrients.
What substance does the citric acid cycle break down?
The citric acid cycles converts citrate (produced from the combination of oxaloacetate and Acetyl Coenzyme A) back into oxaloacetate in a series of steps that will end up yielding 2 ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 per pyruvate. *4 NADH if you include the NADH produced from the creation of Acetyl Coenzyme A in the link reaction.
Is citric acid an organic ingredient?
yes, it comes from lemons
What happens to Coenzyme A once Acetyl-CoA reacts to form citric acid?
Co enzyme A detaches and it goes to another acetyl group in the Pyruvate Oxidation
