Yes. It needs all its parts to survive.
Positron Emission Tomography scan of the brain of cocaine addicts showed that the drug affects how the brain use glucose. Cocaine users' brain cannot use glucose efficiently and there are also reduced metabolic activity in other areas of the brain.
When organic molecules decompose, energy is released.
Answer:
B. ensure the production of GTP in the case of succinyl-CoA
Explanation:
Succinyl CoA like acetyl-CoA has a thioester bond with very negative free energy of hydrolysis. In this reaction, hydrolysis of the thioester bond leads to the formation of phosphoester bond with inorganic phosphate. This phosphate is transferred to histidine residue of the enzyme and this high energy unstable phosphate is finall transferred to GDP resulting in generation of GTP.
Hence the answer is B. ensure the production of GTP in the case of succinyl-CoA.
