What is the first step and the net equation of citric acid cycle. |
|
Answer» Explanation: first step of the citric acid cycle, acetyl CoAstart text, C, o, A, end text joins with a four-carbon MOLECULE, oxaloacetate, releasing the CoAstart text, C, o, A, end text group and forming a six-carbon molecule called citrate. NET EQUATION: The overall reaction for the citric acid cycle is: 2 acetyl groups + 6 NAD+ + 2 FAD + 2 ADP + 2 Pi yields 4 CO2 + 6 NADH + 6 H+ + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP. 5. The citric acid cycle also plays an important role in the flow of carbon through the CELL by supplying precursor metabolites for various biosynthetic pathways. |
