Reading Guide, Pratt and Cornely Chapter 14 1. Is the CO2 you breathe out synthesized from the O2 you breathe in? 2. Why is it better to think of metabolic pathways as a network rather than a pipeline? 3. Give the overall reaction of the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction. Is it an oxidation or reduction? 4. List the five coenzymes in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and describe their function. 5. Give the overall reaction equation of the citric acid cycle starting from acetyl CoA. 6. From memory, draw the 8 intermediates of the citric acid cycle. Which reactions produce carbon dioxide? Which produce reduced cofactors? Which produce substrate level high energy bonds? 7. Write the overall reaction catalyzed by citrate synthase. Which bond leads to the large negative free energy change for the reaction? 8. What is the structure of isocitrate? 9. Isocitrate has three carboxyl groups—give a chemical rational for why only one eliminated as carbon dioxide in this step. 10. Is the enzyme -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase more like isocitrate dehydrogenase or pyruvate dehydrogenase? Explain. 11. What is substrate level phosphorylation? What is the citric acid cycle reaction that produces a substrate level phosphorylation? Which high energy bond is made and which is broken in this reaction? 12. Which cofactor is first reduced by succinate dehydrogenase? Which membrane-bound cofactor is reduced subsequently? 13. What type of reaction is catalyzed by fumarase? 14. What type of reaction is necessary to transform malate into oxaloacetate? Is any cofactor needed? How is this reaction, with a very positive standard free energy, driven to completion? 15. Provide an overview accounting of how a glucose molecule can be oxidized to produce 32 ATP under aerobic conditions. 16. Which three enzymes are regulated in the citric acid cycle? 17. Citric acid cycle intermediates can be used as biosynthetic precursors for what types of molecules? 18. What is the metabolic purpose of the citrate transport system? 19. What is an anaplerotic reaction? Give two anaplerotic reactions that use pyruvate in the process of producing oxaloacetate. 20. Increasing the concentration of citric acid cycle intermediates increases ________ through the pathway. 21. The ________________ pathway can be used by plants and some bacteria to make net glucose from acetyl CoA.
