Question

How many high-energy phosphate bonds are in the ATP molecule? In the common catabolic pathway, a number of important molecules act as carriers (transfer agent). Which to the carrier of phosphate groups? Which are the coenzymes transferring hydrogen ions and electrons? What kind of groups does coenzyme A carry? In Steps 3 and 5 of the citric acid cycle, the compounds are shortened by one carbon each time. What is the form of this one-carbon compound? What happens to it in the body? The citric acid cycle can be regulated by that is, it can be slowed down or speeded mechanism controls this process?

Explanation / Answer

9.7 ATP has,

2 high energy phosphate bonds in it

9.15 Carriers

(a) ATP acts as the carrier for the phosphate group

(b) Coenzyme B is the H+ and electron transfer in the system

(c) Coenzyme A acts as an acyl group carrier

9.18 The citric acid cycle allows for reduction of carbon chain length by one carbon which leaves as CO2
