cycle.
|
ATP is an indirect product of the citric acid cycle |
|
|
Acetyl CoA can increase the pool of citric acid cycle |
|
|
Fatty acids can increase the pool of citric acid cycle |
|
|
ADP inhibits α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase |
|
|
The pool of mitochondrial oxaloacetate can be increased by |
|
|
All enzymes of the citric acid cycle are found soluble and free |
2.Which molecule in the net reaction of the citrate cycle
contributes to the inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase?
|
NADH |
|
|
H+ |
|
|
H2O |

|
|
