1. You have acetate that is isotopically labelled (13C) at carbon 1 and radiolabeled (14C) at carbon 2. Assume all the acetate gets incorporated into Acetyl-CoA. Calculate the % of each labelled carbon that gets released in the first five rounds of the TCA cycle and at what enzymatic step they get released.
2. Document (on extra pages attached to this sheet) your work. Note: you don’t have to include every step if you are clever.
The table given in the figure is uploaded hereby-
Complete enzyme names could not be given in the figure for space constraints, however, I have depicted the details in complete figure

Question: You buy a sample of glucose that has the radioactive carbon-14 (C) isotope at the second position (Carbon #2). All other carbon positions in the glucose molecules have the "C isotope. "C is only a label and does not alter the biochemical behavior of the molecules in which it is found. This glucose sample is mixed with all the enzymes derived from liver cells, which initially contain no other C-labeled chemicals. A) Draw the Haworth structure of glucose and...
