Why is the 4-carbon compound generated in the breakdown of citric acid the only permanent compound in the Krebs cycle?

This 4-carbon molecule is then ready to accept another 2-carbon acetyl group, which starts the cycle all over again.

It is regenerated at the end of each complete turn of the cycle.

What is first order cycle reversible reaction?

A first-order cycle reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of only one reactant. This type of reaction can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions. The rate of the reaction changes depending on the concentration of the reactant involved.


How many bonds can each carbon form?

4Carbon has an atomic number of 6 which simply means that 6 electrons are distributed as follows: two electrons in the first shell and four in the second shell. Due to the fact that the second shell has the capacity to accommodate for eight electrons, therefore carbon needs another four electrons to be fully satisfied. Consequently carbon has the ability to make four bonds in the form of single, double and triple bonds according to the structure of the chemical compound and the type of reaction it is involved in.
