Which of the following characteristics of the TCA cycle are correct? Answers: a. None of the two acetyl carbons is lost during the first round of the cycle b. The production of energy rich compounds in this cycle is derived from the energy contained in the thioester linkage of acetyl-CoA c. NADH is produced at 3 reactions of the pathway d. Oxaloacetate is regenerated at the end of the pathway e. The pathway can function at a high flux, even under low concentrations of oxaloacetate f. a, c and d g. All of the above

Which of the following pathways/cycles directly produces reduced co-enzymes from acetyl-CoA? a) Glycolate pathway b) Calvin cycle c) TCA cycle d) Glycolysis
Adi S.
1) How are the two products of glycolysis connected to the reactions of the TCA cycle? 2) Why is the TCA cycle considered to be the central pathway in the energy metabolism of a cell? 3) Describe the mechanism by which NADH produced in the cytosol by glycolysis is able to feed electrons into the TCA cycle.
