Krebs Cycle

... it was already "common sense" to the scienstists at that time that the cirtrate->isocitrate->alpha-ketoglutarate->succinate->fumarate->malate->OAA. But a small amount of any of the intermediate would result in increasing the total reaction significantly. So Krebs proprosed ...

Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration

... molecules of H2O for every pyruvate that enters it. Equation : C3H4O3 + 3H2O = 3CO2 + 10 H (for ETS). Yes, 1 molecule of H2O will be releases when fumarate turn to malate. The other 2 H2O, I am not sure. Sham

Number of water molecules produced by cellular respiration

... 2 extra molecules of water are produced this way). On the other hand the Krebs cycle uses up 2 molecules of water per glucose when it turns fumarate into malate. The answer to your question lies at the electron transport chain. i have been killing my brains trying to figure out how. I know ...

m-RNA made from?

... divide GTP, in GDP+P and forms a bond between aspartate and IMP, forming adenilosuccinate. 2) Enzyme adenilosuccinate liasis eliminates fumarate from adenilosuccinate, producing AMP (o adenine). The guanine is generated by two reactions: 1)IMP is deidorgenated, and the H+ from IMP reduces ...
