GTP produced by the citric acid cycle energetically equivalent to ATP in metabolism
because both ATP and GTP contain 3 phosphate groups and adenine and guanine are both the same type of nucleic acid. Moreover, they have very similar in its structure and energetic properties with each others

GTP is energetically equivalent in almost every regard to ATP and can be freely converted between the two forms by nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK). One potential reason is that enzymes that bind GTP instead of ATP would be more specific and only active under certain conditions, such as those present during the Krebs cycle and gluconeogenesis.

Where is NADH or FADH used and produced during microbial metabolism?
what is FADH use a glycolysis, or citric acid cycle, or electron transport, or aoligosaccharide, or a plasmid
In the citric acid cycle ATP molecules are produced by?
Yes, 34-36 ATP are produced during the citric acid cycle with another two produced during glycolysis for a total of 36-38 ATP during cellular respiration.
What compound is produced by the transfer of the acetyl group of acetyl CoA to oxaloacetate?
Citric acid or citrate. The reaction is catalyzed by the citrate synthase enzyme.
How many NADH molecules are produced during complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
This process is the Kreb's Cycle or the Citric Acid Cycle. The end products are 6 NADH, 2FADH2, 4CO2, AND 2ATP.
What cycle produces the most NADH?
Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE) Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE)
Where is NADH or FADH used and produced during microbial metabolism?
what is FADH use a glycolysis, or citric acid cycle, or electron transport, or aoligosaccharide, or a plasmid
What gas is produced by citric acid in electrolysis?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas is produced during the krebs/citric acid cycle
How many ATP are produced in kerbs citric system?
2 ATP per glucose molecule is produced in the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
Do citric foods or spicy foods burn fat?
I have heard that spicy foods speed up the metabolism temporarily. I assume its the same fo citric foods like lemons as well because hot lemon helps with speeding up metabolism.
When acetyl joins the 4C molecule what is produced?
Citric Acid.
In the citric acid cycle ATP molecules are produced by?
Yes, 34-36 ATP are produced during the citric acid cycle with another two produced during glycolysis for a total of 36-38 ATP during cellular respiration.
What acids are produced in the wine making process?
lactic, malolactic, citric, acetic
Is produced during glycolysis and travels from the cytoplasm and enters the mitochondrion?
citric acid
What are the first six-carbon molecule produced in the Krebs cycle?
Citric Acid
What is the reaction when you mix sodium hydroxide with citric acid?
sodium citrate is produced.
What will happen if you dont have citric acid in our diets?
Nothing - we create it from our food during metabolism and then break it down in the kreb's cycle.
What does ATP deal with?
It is the chemical name for the energy produced in the mitochondria of the cell. Most are produced in the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
