For each pyruvate molecule (from glycolysis), the overall yield of energy-containing compounds from the citric acid cycle is three NADH, one FADH2, and one GTP. (wikipedia.org)
One of the primary sources of acetyl-CoA is from the breakdown of sugars by glycolysis which yield pyruvate that in turn is decarboxylated by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex generating acetyl-CoA according to the following reaction scheme: CH3C(=O)C(=O)O−pyruvate + HSCoA + NAD+ → CH3C(=O)SCoAacetyl-CoA + NADH + CO2 The product of this reaction, acetyl-CoA, is the starting point for the citric acid cycle. (wikipedia.org)
Below is a schematic outline of the cycle: The citric acid cycle begins with the transfer of a two-carbon acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the four-carbon acceptor compound (oxaloacetate) to form a six-carbon compound (citrate). (wikipedia.org)
[1] In aerobic organisms , the citric acid cycle is involved in the chemical conversion of carbohydrates , fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate a form of usable energy. (citizendium.org)
Instead, cells store energy in the form of sugars (e.g., glycogen in animals, starch in plants) and fats (triglycerides). (microbiologynote.com)
Tricarboxylic acid2
The name of this metabolic pathway is derived from the citric acid (a tricarboxylic acid, often called citrate, as the ionized form predominates at biological pH) that is consumed and then regenerated by this sequence of reactions to complete the cycle. (wikipedia.org)
Plants overexpressing 14-3-3 proteins also contained decreased levels of malate and citrate, which are intermediate compounds of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. (biomedcentral.com)
Oxaloacetate2
Acetyl-CoA reacts with the four carbon carboxylic acid, oxaloacetate--to form the six carbon carboxylic acid, citrate. (citizendium.org)
Through a series of reactions citrate is converted back to oxaloacetate. (citizendium.org)
Isocitrate1
Also the enzymes citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, that regulate the first three steps of the TCA cycle, are inhibited by high concentrations of ATP. (citizendium.org)
Phosphofructokinase1
Phosphofructokinase is inhibited by ATP/citrate and activated by AMP/F2,6P. (rahulgladwin.com)
NADH2
The cycle consumes acetate (in the form of acetyl-CoA) and water, reduces NAD+ to NADH, releasing carbon dioxide. (wikipedia.org)
This allows the recycling of the electron carriers (NADH) back into their oxidized forms (NAD+), enabling glycolysis to continue. (microbiologynote.com)
Anaerobic1
In the absence of oxygen, known as anaerobic respiration, the process starts similarly with glycolysis. (microbiologynote.com)
Enzymes1
The reactions of the cycle are carried out by eight enzymes that completely oxidize acetate (a two carbon molecule), in the form of acetyl-CoA, into two molecules each of carbon dioxide and water. (wikipedia.org)
Molecule1
In TCA cycle, citrate is converted into ________ after losing a molecule of H2O. (dentaldevotee.com)
Cycle2
Reactions that form intermediates of the cycle are called anaplerotic reactions . (citizendium.org)
The net result of these two closely linked pathways is the oxidation of nutrients to produce usable chemical energy in the form of ATP. (wikipedia.org)
Generate1
The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power essential cellular processes. (microbiologynote.com)
Series1
The citrate then goes through a series of chemical transformations, losing two carboxyl groups as CO2. (wikipedia.org)
Energy2
The energy released during cellular respiration, in the form of ATP and other energy carriers, fuels various anabolic processes within the cell . (microbiologynote.com)
Cellular respiration is the metabolic process by which cells convert carbohydrates into energy in the form of ATP. (microbiologynote.com)
Amounts2
Pyruvate replaced acetate as the major excreted product, and the following intermediates of glycolysis were excreted in significant amounts: glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-1 ,6-diphos- phate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and 3-phosphoglycerate. (nih.gov)
In solution, fructose exists as an equilibrium mixture of 70% fructopyranose and about 22% fructofuranose, as well as small amounts of three other forms, including the acyclic structure. (en-academic.com)
Acetate2
The cycle consumes acetate (in the form of acetyl-CoA) and water, reduces NAD+ to NADH, releasing carbon dioxide. (wikipedia.org)
The reactions of the cycle are carried out by eight enzymes that completely oxidize acetate (a two carbon molecule), in the form of acetyl-CoA, into two molecules each of carbon dioxide and water. (wikipedia.org)
Compounds2
For each pyruvate molecule (from glycolysis), the overall yield of energy-containing compounds from the citric acid cycle is three NADH, one FADH2, and one GTP. (wikipedia.org)
Organic acids, higher alcohols, low-volatile organic sulphur compounds and esters, with their fruity notes, are significant sensorial components of wine and other fermented beverages and are the primary compounds that form a fermentation bouquet. (moam.info)
