Question
The following paragraphs describe the first three reactions of a metabolic pathway. Fill in the blanks by moving words to the appropriate blanks. Note that a single red X will appear if you answer any of the blanks incorrectly. Feedback will be placed next to a blank that is incorrectly filled. it all the terms wil be placed. In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl-CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four-carbon compound to form with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form . The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis-aconitate is a(n) of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the 5-carbon dicarboxylic acid . Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to . Consequently this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.Explanation / Answer
1.oxaloacetate
2.citrate
3.tricarboxylic acid
4.isomerization
5.isocitrate
6.intermediate
7.alpha keto glutaric acid
8.NAD+
