1. L-Asparagine is a precursor to those chemicals necessary for the Krebs cycle.

2. You get two NADHs and you get two pyruvates, which are going to be re- engineered into acetyl- CoAs that are going to be the raw materials for the Krebs cycle.

3. ‘In Aerobes with sufficient oxygen, pyruvate is transported to the mitochondrion to undergo further transformations in the Krebs cycle.’ ‘By contrast, only 1 or 2 types of Gram-positive organisms are generally cultured in osteomyelitis, almost universally Aerobes.’

4. Coenzyme: 1 n a small molecule (not a protein but sometimes a vitamin) essential for the activity of some enzymes Types: show 6 types hide 6 types cocarboxylase , thiamine pyrophosphate a Coenzyme important in respiration in the Krebs cycle Coenzyme A a Coenzyme present in all living cells; essential to metabolism of carbohydrates and

5. The citric acid Cycle (CAC) – also known as the TCA Cycle (tricarboxylic acid Cycle) or the Krebs Cycle – is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.In addition, the Cycle provides precursors of certain amino acids, as well as the reducing agent NADH, that are
