Describe the enzymatic and chemical reactions that
occur at each of the eight steps of the citric acid
cycle.
a. Describe the substrate-level phosphorylation reaction that takes
place in the citric acid cycle,
and explain what drives this reaction.
b. Explain why there is no net production of oxaloacetate in the
citric acid cycle.
c. List the steps in the citric acid cycle that produce NADH or
FADH2 and explain why the enzyme
that catalyzes the production of FADH2 is linked to the electron
transport chain.
