Question : Whichare intermediate processes occurringin Glycolysis andKrebs cycle ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :PYRUVATE which is formed by theglycolytic catabolismof carbohydrates in the cytosol. Afterit enters mitochondrialmatrixundergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complexset of reactions catalysed by pyruvicdehydrogenase. Pyruvicdehydrogenase functions with other Coenzyme. Like `NAD^(+)` and Coenzyme (CoA). Pyruvic acid `+ CoA + NAD^(+) (Mg^(+2))/("Pyruvate dehdrogenase ") "Acetyl " CoA + CO_(2) + NADH + H^(+)` Duringthis process, two NUCLEI of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid (produced from one GLUCOSE molecule during glycolysis). The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclicpathway, tricarboxylic acid CYCLE, more commonly called as Krebs. cycle afterthe scientistHans Krebs who first elucidated it. |
