Answer:

In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.

Explanation:

In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.

In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.

<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>

<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>

On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.

laila [671]

Answer:

The timber companies removing all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs is a practice that could cause the following when it is time to plant in spring:

1. It could affect the quality of plant needed nutrients in the soil and beneficial microorganism population in the soil which could impact negatively the planting season.

2. Trees serves as protection of soil nutrients against wind erosions, so the soil nutrients would be affected.

The farmers tilling the soil means preparing the soil for a farming season as the following effect:

1. Helps control weed for the planting season.

2. This practice could further encourage soil erosion if not done well.

3. Tilling the soil could make leftover plants from the felling of trees mix well with the soil and also add nutrients to the soil when they decay.
