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.
What process occurs before the Krebs cycle?
The formation of 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.
Which process uses acetyll CoA as a reactant?
The Krebs cycle uses acetyl CoA as a reactant.
What is a reactant of the Krebs cycle?
acetyl CoA
What is the name of the molecule that pyruvates are changed into during pyruvates processing?
Acetyl CoA
Before Krebs cycle can proceed pyruvate must be converted into what?
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
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 compound enters the Krebs cycle and is made from the last compound?
Acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Kreb's cycle.
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.
What process occurs before the Krebs cycle?
The formation of 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.
