Document Summary

Cellular respiration ii: the citric acid cycle and oxidative. A: after pyruvate is completely oxidized (pyruvate decarboxylation, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation) A: pyruvate is decarboxylated (carboxyl ( coo-) group removed) as carbon dioxide, which diffuses out of the mitochondria and out of the cell. The remaining two- carbon acetyl group is then transferred to the small molecule coenzyme a (coa) to form acetyl-coenzyme a (acetyl-coa) exergonic reaction 2nad+ is oxidized to form 2nadh. A: the chemical energy in acetyl-coa is transferred to several different molecules for use in oxidative phosphorylation produces a lot of energy. A: acetyl-coa enters the cycle citrate synthase transfer of the two-carbon acetyl group from coa to the 4-carbon oxaloacetate form six-carbon molecule of citrate (citric acid). A: citrate is isomerized into isocitrate still a six-carbon compound by the enzyme aconitase. A: isocitrate is oxidized by isocitrate dehydrogenase- removes the carboxyl group .
