The pyruvic acid from glycolysis can be converted to acetic acid, which can enter the citric acid cycle. Because this process is

a cycle, the atoms entering the cycle must balance the atoms that leave. Consider carbon balance in the citric acid cycle. How many CO 2 molecules leave the cycle for each acetic acid molecule that enters? For this question, assume that carbon only enters as acetic acid and exits as CO 2 . Note that acetic acid has two carbon atoms. You can determine the number of carbon atoms in carbon dioxide from its formula, CO 2 .

Answer: 2CO2, 8CO2

Explanation:

During glycolysis one molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvic acid (3 carbon molecule). Pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA(2 carbon molecule) by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

For each acetic acid that enters the citric acid cycle 2 molecules of CO2 is given off.

For one glucose molecule produces 2 acetyl CoA

2 acetyl groups + 6 NAD+ + 2 FAD + 2 ADP + 2 Pi yields 4 CO2 + 6 NADH + 6 H+ + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP.

Hence 4 molecules of acetic acid is completely oxidized to 8 molecules of CO2.

According to the data, how much energy would be liberated burning 0.554 kg of olive oil?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

2.18×10⁴ kJ are liberated when you burn 0.554 kg of olive oil

Explanation:

The chart indicates that ΔH combustion for the olive oil is 39.31 kJ/g which means that, when you burn 1 g of olive oil, you have 39.31 kJ of heat.

In this case, the mass of olive is 0.554 kg. Let's convert the mass from kg to g → 0.554 kg .  1000 g / 1kg = 554 g

Now, the conversion factor:

554 g . 39.31 kJ / 1g = 2.18×10⁴ kJ
