Follow the Carbon in Citric Acid Cycle: 1. How many cycles does it take to convert Acetyl CoA to CO2

Chemistry

Anastasy [175]3 years ago

Each round of Citric Acid Cycle produce 2 molecules of carbon dioxide. So one cycle of TCA cycle is enough to convert Acetyl CoA to carbon dioxide.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

Citric Acid Cycle or Kreb's Cycle or the TCA cycle is the 1st dedicated step towards the aerobic respiration. The end product of glycolysis is Pyruvate which is a three carbon compound. It's acted upon by Pyruvate Decarboxylase to produce a 2 carbon compound Acetyl CoA and a molecule of carbon dioxide. This Acetyl CoA now reacts with oxaloacetate to produce Citric Acid which is the 1st step of Citric Acid Cycle. This now produce several intermediates and a lot of reduced electron carriers along with 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and ends up being oxaloacetate again. So one cycle of Citric Acid Cycle is necessary to convert Acetyl CoA to CO2.

How many moles are in 1.5x1023 molecules of Na2SO4?
german
One mole of Na2SO4 is 6.022 * 10^(23) molecules. We can divide this into the quantity in the question to find a value of 1.5/6.022 = 0.2491 moles. Rounded to two significant figures and put in scientific notation, we can rewrite this quantity as 2.5 * 10^(-1) moles

What is the H+ ion concentration of a solution with a pH of 7?
Ksivusya [100]

answer=H+]=10-7

explain=the same way, a solution with a pH of 5 contains 10-5mol/l of hydrogen ions, a solution with a pH of 6 contains 10-6mol/l of hydrogen ions, while the solution with a pH of 7 contains 10-7mol/l of hydrogen ions

Two aircraft rivets, one of iron and the other of copper, are placed in a calorimeter that has an initial temperature of 10°c.
Dominik [7]

a) Copper is at a higher temperature, so the flow of heat will take place from copper to iron. Heat is a form of energy, which always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.  

b) To determine the actual final temperature, the heat capacity of the calorimeter must be known. A calorimeter constant refers to a constant, which quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. It may be determined by using a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the corresponding change in temperature of the calorimeter.
