Refer to the diagram of the citric acid cycle in Figure 12.11 to answer each of the following:

c. Name the reaction that is coupled to GTP formation.

Accepted Answer

All right. Hello everyone. So this question is asking us to identify the reaction in the citric acid cycle that is directly linked to ATP formation option. A says the conversion of succinate fumarate B says the conversion of sino koate is succinate. C says the conversion of isocitrate to alpha ketoglutarate. And D says the conversion of alpha ketoglutarate to sino kite. So here on the screen, I have two different memory devices which we'll use to figure out the answer. So the first reads as follows, it says under trees in a forest there lived five ants and six flies. Now for this question, the relevant part is the fact that the phrase five ants is supposed to remind you that A TP is produced as a result of reaction five in the citric acid cycle. So the second memory device is meant to help you understand the order of these reactions. So the second memory device reads, Oxford City ice crates kegs and such contain succulent foamy milk. So here the underlying parts, the beginning parts of each word refer to a different reactant. But the exception is the phrase such contain, which only represents Sino Poe So these two words such and contain represent aceto or sorry, Sinaloa. So here going back to the information that we got from the first memory device we're looking for reaction five. So Oxford represents oxo acetate which is first city is citrate. The eye in ice crates is for isocitrate. The ke in kegs is for alpha ketoglutarate and six in owa would be number five. So reaction number five would be between succinate and whatever its product is going to be, which in this case is succinate represented by the word succulent. So the reaction is the fifth transformation is from Sukin Koe being converted into succinate, which would be the correct answer. So that's going to be option B but just for your information, right, the f in foamy represents fumarate and the M in milk stands for mate or mate, but there you have the correct answer would be option B. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching. And I hope you found this helpful.
