Step 5 of the citric acid cycle

In step five, a succinyl CoA synthetase enzyme converts succinyl CoA (4C) into succinate (4C). This produces GTP (P was added to GDP) which is converted to ATP. (in an animal)

Step 7 of the citric acid cycle

In step seven, a fumarate hydratase enzyme then converts fumarate into malate (4C)

Step 6 of the citric acid cycle

In step six, an enzyme called succinate dehydrogenase converts succinate (4C) into fumarate by giving its electron away (oxidation). This step makes one FADH2. **SUBSTRATE LEVEL PHOSPHORYLATION AND ATP PRODUCTION**

Step 8 of the citric acid cycle (final step)

In the final step of the citric acid cycle, a malate dehydrogenase enzyme converts malate (4C) back to oxaloacetate (4C) by oxidation. Like all steps involving a dehydrogenase, a coenzyme is produced. Here it is NADH (NAD+ was reduced to NADH)

The citric acid cycle (ALL STEPS) shit is long

In the first step of the cycle, an enzyme called citrate synthase joins the two-carbon acetyl group from acetyl CoA with the four-carbon oxaloacetate to form a six-carbon citrate. In step two, an enzyme called aconitase converts citrate into isocitrate. Next, an isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme oxidizes isocitrate, a six-carbon molecule, to a five-carbon α-ketoglutarate. The carbon that was lost is released as carbon dioxide and one NADH is also formed. The carbon dioxide that is released was originally part of oxaloacetate and not acetyl CoA. In the fouth step, an enzyme called α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase converts α-ketoglutarate into a four-carbon succinyl CoA. Similar to step three, this reaction produces one carbon dioxide and one NADH. In step five, a succinyl CoA synthetase enzyme converts succinyl CoA into succinate. This produces GTP which is converted to ATP. In step six, an enzyme called succinate dehydrogenase converts succinate into fumarate. This step makes one FADH2. In step seven, a fumarate hydratase enzyme then converts fumarate into malate. In the final step of the citric acid cycle, a malate dehydrogenase enzyme converts malate back to oxaloacetate. Like all steps involving a dehydrogenase, a coenzyme is produced. Here it is NADH. The oxaloacetate that was regenerated through the citric acid cycle is now ready to join with another acetyl group and begin the cycle a second time. For every one glucose that is broken down through glycolysis, two pyruvates will be produced. These two pyruvates will produce two acetyl CoAs. So, for every one glucose, two acetyl CoAs will be made and two turns of the citric acid cycle will occur. This means each product of the cycle must be doubled.

The third/fourth step of citric acid cycle

In the fourth step, an enzyme called α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase converts α-ketoglutarate into a four-carbon succinyl CoA. Similar to step three, this reaction produces one carbon dioxide and one NADH. -Oxidized NAD+ reduced to NADH + H+ **OXIDATION AND CARBOXYLATION**

Where is the electron transport chain located?

Inner mitochondrial membrane

Outline how the electron transport chain operates

NADH loses 2 electrons → NAD+ → oxidized FMN reduced to FMN2 → oxidized quinone carried by ubiquinone is reduced to hydroquinone → oxdized 2Fe3+ is carried by cytochrome b and reduced to 2 Fe2+ → reduced 2Fe2+ is carried by cytochrome c1 and oxidized to 2Fe3+ → oxidized 2Fe3+ is carried by cytochrome c and is reduced to 2Fe2+ → oxdized 2Fe3+ is carried by cytochrome a-a3 complex and reduced to 2Fe2+ → oxidized 2Cu2+ is carried by cytochrome a-a3 complex and reduced to 2Cu+ → 1/2O2 (final electron acceptor) + 2H+ to H2O (product)

Why are the numbers of ATP formed from electron pair of NADH and FADH2 different?

NADH produces 3 ATP during the ETC (Electron Transport Chain) with oxidative phosphorylation because NADH gives up its electron to Complex I, which is at a higher energy level than the other Complexes. When Complex I transfers the electron to Complex III, energy is given off to pump protons across the membrane, creating a gradient. The electron moves again to Complex IV and again pumps more electrons across the membrane. Because NADH started with Complex I, it had more chances to pumps more protons across the gradient, which powers the ATP synthase and gives us 3 ATP per molecule of NADH. FADH2 produces 2 ATP during the ETC because it gives up its electron to Complex II, bypassing Complex I. By bypassing Complex I, we missed a chance to pump protons across the membrane, so less protons have been pumped by the time we get to Complex IV. Protons still have been pumped, enough to fuel 2 ATP created by ATP synthase.

What is the 4C starting molecule that receives the acetyl group from acetyl CoA? (Krebs cycle)

Oxalacetate

How does reduction potential explain the order of the carriers in the electron transport chain?

The electron carriers function in a sequence determined by their reduction potential

The electron transport system (description)

The electron carriers of the chain receive electrons from NADH and FADH2; each carrier is successfully reduced by the electrons from the proceeding carrier in the chain and is oxidized by the loss of electrons to the carrier following it; thus electrons are passed from one carrier to the next like a "bucket brigade" until the final acceptor is reached

The fatty acids are linked to coenzyme A to form fatty acyl CoAs, which are then degraded by beta-oxidation, a catabolic process that generates acetyl CoA and the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2

What is the first 6C product formed during the Krebs cycle?

Tricarboxylic acid (oxalacetate + citrate)

Summary of detailed events in establishing the electrochemical gradient

a) Complex 1: receives 2 electrons from NADH and passes them to CoQ via FMN (flavoproteins) and an FeS (iron sulfur) protein; during this process, 4H+ are pumped out of the matrix by complex 1 b) Complex 3 passes electrons from CoQH2 to cytochrome c via cytochromes b and c1 and an Fe-S protein (iron sulfur); CoHQ2 carries 2H+ across the inner membrane and 2 more H+ are pumped out of the matrix c) Complex 4 receives electrons from cytochrome c and, via cytochrome a and a3, passes them to molecular oxygen, which is reduced to water as 2 more H+ are pumped from the matrix by complex 4 d) ATP synthase uses the energy from the proton gradient generated during electron transport to synthesize ATP from ADP and P

Overall equation of the citric acid cycle

acetyl CoA + (3NAD+) + FAD + ADP + P ---> 2CO2 + 3NADH + FADH2 + CoA-SH + ATP
