The text describes the first three reactions of a metabolic pathway. Complete the sentences. Not all the terms will be placed. I

n 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 c????????‑aconitate is the of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid . Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.

Answer:

Explanation:

In the first step of Krebs cycle, pyruvate dehydrogenase condenses with oxalocyclate , a 4 carbon coumpound. It forms citrate with removal of CoA.. Citrate thus formed has 3 carboxylic acid group and hence this cycle is called TCA cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle

In reaction 2, This citrate thus formed undergoes isomerization to form isocitrate. The enzyme used here is called aconitase because this isomerization happens with cis-aconitate as the intermediate.

Further, in reaction 3, CO2 is eliminated to form \alpha -ketoglutarate which is a 5 carbon carboxylic acid. Here, oxidation occurs by electron transfer to NAD+which is converted to NADH

Final Answer:

First paragraph: Oxalocyclate, Citrate, Tricarboxylic acid

Second Paragraph: Isomerization, isocitrate, intermediate,

Third paragraph:   \alpha-ketoglutarate, NAD+

In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form <em>citrate </em>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<em> isocitrate. </em>The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the <em>intermediate product</em> of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid <em>α-cetoglutarate. </em>Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to <em>COO-</em> . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.

In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.

There are two isotopes of an unknown element, X-19 and X-21. The abundance of X-19 is 14.55%. A weighted average uses the percen
alekssr [168]

Answer:

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Explanation:

The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:

X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21

The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:

19.00amu * 0.1455 =

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Fumaric acid, which occurs in many plants, contains, by mass, 41.4% carbon, 3.47% hydrogen, and 55.1% oxygen. The molecular mass
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4
