Shown below is L-methylmalonyl-CoA. It is formed during the oxidation of fatty acids that have an odd number of carbons. This molecule is converted to the citric acid cycle intermediate __________ by the action of the cobalamin containing enzyme __________. citryl-CoA / aconitase succinyl-CoA / methylmalonyl-CoA mutase propionyl-CoA / propionyl-CoA carboxylase methylmalonyl / methylmalonyl-CoA racemase

The citric acid cycle begins with the condensation of acetyl-CoA with oxaloacetate. Possible sources for carbon that may be converted into acetyl-CoA in active muscle include: (Select ALL that apply!) Pyruvate Stored glycogen in the muscle, β-oxidation of fatty acids, Conversion of ketone bodies from the blood back to acetyl-CoA, Amino acid catabolism

In the beta oxidation pathway, what is the product of the enzyme acyl CoA-dehydrogenase? Assume the starting saturated fatty acid contains n carbons and n is an even number. CH3(CH2)n-4HCOHCH2CO-CoA CH3(CH2)n-4COCH2CO-CoA CH3(CH2)n-4CO-CoA CH3CO-CoA CH3(CH2)n-4HC=CHCO-CoA CH3(CH2)n-2CO-CoA
Acetyl CoA, CoA, Oxaloacetate, Citrate, NADH, NAD+, Succinyl CoA, Fumarate, Malate, CO2, FADH2, FAD, alpha-Ketoglutarate, Succinate, ATP, ADP + Pi, Figure 7.1. If 2 Acetyl CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle, how many CO2 molecules are released (see Figure 7.1)?
