The kreb's cycle is single greatest direct source of ATP in the cell? t/f?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Frostbite

OpenStudy (frostbite):

false false and false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayyyyyy :D hehe thanku

OpenStudy (frostbite):

The equivalent of one ATP is "directly" being produced in Krebs cycle for each cycle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This question was: Which statement about krebs cycle is not true.. then I selected that option..So that's right? :D Other options were: the krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of mitochondrion the krebs cycle is linked to glycolysis by pyruvate the krebs cycle produces nucleotides such as fadh and fadh2 citrate is an intermediate in the krebs cycle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Other options are correct? @Frostbite

OpenStudy (frostbite):

I don't like the statement "the krebs cycle produces nucleotides such as fadh and fadh2"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oww

OpenStudy (frostbite):

It don't create them as in a synthesis. NAD and FAD functions as oxidation agents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that was wrong :I

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Sure it should not say NADH and FADH2?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

I think you should take it as a correct answer. However it is very poorly said!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do you say is 100% wrong statement?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

"The kreb's cycle is single greatest direct source of ATP in the cell" is 100% wrong It would be better to write the answer as "the Krebs cycle produce reduced electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) which can enter the ETC"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm..right :)

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Don't take my word for it. Gonna upload the cycle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm reading my biology book as well..:P but couldn't understand well, so I asked here..

OpenStudy (frostbite):

From Principles of Biochemistry, Lehninger 5e.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice! I should save it and try to understand the process again!

OpenStudy (frostbite):

If you want to become a biochemist it is sure good to start learning it... I gotta memorize the "figure2" as a biochemist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Woah! Nice! But I'll become something nearest to biochemist :D May be..:p So I should start learning..
