Explain how a circular pathway, such as the citric acid cycle, fundamentally differs from a linear biochemical pathway, such as glycolysis Describe how pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, is prepared for entry into the citric acid cycle

Step 1
The citric acid cycle has multiple checkpoints that can control the rate and extent of the cycle, allowing for flexibility in response to the cell's energy state. ** Show more…

Describe the enzymatic and chemical reactions that occur at each of the eight steps of the citric acid cycle. Describe the substrate-level phosphorylation reaction that takes place in the citric acid cycle and explain what drives this reaction. Explain why there is no net production of oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle. List the steps in the citric acid cycle that produce NADH or FADH2 and explain why the enzyme that catalyzes the production of FADH2 is linked to the electron transport chain.
