Answer:

C. They are all formed from the same elements.

Explanation:

Proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the biomolecules found in cells of living beings. Proteins are polymers of amino acids which have one central carbon atom to which amino group (NH3), carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and one side chain are bonded.

Carbohydrates are the chemicals that also have C, H, and O in their structures.

Lipids are the derivatives of fatty acids which in turn are derived from hydrocarbons.

Hence, protein, carbohydrates, and lipids are formed of some common elements namely, C, H, and O.

If pyruvate-2-14C (pyruvate with the middle carbon atom radioactively labeled) is provided to actively respiring mitochondria, m

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The middle carbon atom of pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of acetate and hence the newly added (upper) carboxyl group in citrate

Explanation:

Before entering the TCA cycle, pyruvate is converted into Acetyl-CoA by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. 1st two carbons of glucose to be fully oxidized. This reaction is catalyzed by Pyruvate dehydrogenase.

The middle carbon atom of the pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of the acetate as the carboxyl group is removed from the pyruvate , releasing CO2. NAD is reduced to NADH. Acetyl group is transferred to coenzyme-A , resulting in acetyl coA
