Why can't acetyl-CoA be converted to glucose? What are the inputs and outputs of acetyl CoA formation? Why is pyruvate converted into acetyl-CoA prior to entering the Kreb's Cycle? What does this conversion do to the pyruvate molecules?
Explain glycolysis and how glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. Why is mitochondria impermeable to oxaloacetate? Why is there no oxygen involved in the Krebs cycle? What are the inputs and outputs of acetyl CoA formation? Why is FAD used rather than NAD+ in a succinate deh...
Neurons receive input from sensory cells or other neurons, and send output to muscles or other neurons. Neurons with sensory input are called sensory neurons, neurons with muscle outputs are called motoneurons; neurons that connect only with other neurons are called interneurons. Neurons connect ...
Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are crucial metabolic enzymes and attractive targets for drug discovery. Eukaryotic acetyl-CoA carboxylases are 250 kDa single-chain, multi-domain enzymes and function as dimers and higher oligomers. Their catalytic activity is tightly regulated by phosphorylation and ...
