New cards

the citric acid cycle is also known as the _________ cycle

kreb

2
New cards

the citric acid cycle occurs in the ________

mitochondria

3
New cards

the citric acid cycle does _____ depend on ____ and is more dependent on ______

Not, O2, CoA

4
New cards

the citric acid cycle ___________ monosaccharides, fatty acids, amino acids all ___________

metabolizes, aerobically

5
New cards

the citric acid cycle will produce __________ _______ and

_____

NADH, FADH2, ATP

6
New cards

in the citric acid cycle the oxidized acetyl group turns into _____ molecules of ___

2, CO2

7
New cards

the fate of the acetyl group depends on our need for _____

energy

8
New cards

if energy is needed the acetyl group wil be _________ catabolized and if it is not needed it will only be catabolized ______

completely, partially

9
New cards

__________ reactions mediate the citric acid cycle

one-way

10
New cards

The firs step of the citric acid cycle is combining __________ and oxaloacetate to make ______ and CoA

Acetyl CoA, citrate

11
New cards

what enzyme mediates the first step of the citric acid cycle?

citrate synthase

12
New cards

is the first step of the citric acid reversable?

no

13
New cards

citrate is a precursor for _____ ________ synthesis

fatty acid

14
New cards

the CoA produced from the first step in the citric acid cycle is _______

recycled

15
New cards

is the second step of the citric acid cycle reversable?

yes

16
New cards

what happens in the second step of the citric acid cycle?

citrate gets converted to isocitrate

17
New cards

what enzyme mediates citrate to isocitrate?

Aconitase

18
New cards

in the third step of glycolysis isocitrate and ______ are reversibly converted to _________ and NADH+ H+ CO2

alpha-ketoglutarate

19
New cards

what enzyme is the third step of the citric acid cycle mediated by?

isocitrate dehydrogenase

20
New cards

the enzyme that mediates the fourth step of the citric acid cycle is called ______________________ _________ ________

alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex

21
New cards

what happens in the fourth step of the citric acid cycle?

alpha-ketoglutarate donates hydrogens to CoA and NAD+ to form succinyl CoA, NADH+H+CO2

22
New cards

if the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex enzyme is blocked then it will __________ back for ____________ ______ synthesis using citrate

reverse, fatty acid

23
New cards

what can block the enzyme alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex?

high ATP and NADH concentrations. As well as arsenic

24
New cards

in the fifth step of the citric acid cycle, succinyl CoA, ADP, and Pi will be reversibly turned into:

succinate, CoA and ATP

25
New cards

what is the enzyme mediating the fifth step of the citric acid cycle?

succinate thiokinase

26
New cards

succinate thiokinase can be called a:

succinyl CoA synthase

27
New cards

the CoA made in the fifth step of the citric acid cycle gets ___________ after formation

released

28
New cards

in the sixth step of the citric acid cycle succinate and ______ react and reversibly form ____________ and FADH2

FAD, fumarate

29
New cards

what enzyme mediates the formation of succinate to fumarate?
