Shortly after adding C-14 labeled glyceraldehydes-3 phosphate to a yeast extract, fructose-1, 6- bisphosphate labeled at C-3 and C-4 can be isolated.
Where was the C-14 label in glyceraldehydes-3- phosphate?
Do the calculation showing that at pH 7.4
a.the charge on ADP is -2.8. b. the charge on the alkyl phosphate is -1.8.
Under conditions of starvation, acetyl- CoA, instead of being degraded in the citric acid cycle, is converted to acetone and 3-hydroxybutyrate, compounds called ketone bodies that the brain can use as a temporary fuel. Show how the ketone bodies are formed.

Acetone 3- hydroxybutyrate
How many molecules of ATP are obtained from the NADH and FADH2 formed in the \(\beta \)-oxidation of one molecule of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acyl-CoA?
Which reactions in the citric acid cycle form a product with a new asymmetric center?
