Why is the citric acid cycle called a "cycle"?

Which of the following processes generates most of the NADH that delivers electrons to the electron transport chain?

In the citric acid cycle, for each pyruvate that enters the cycle, one ATP, three NADH, and one FADH₂ are produced. For each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis, how many ATP, NADH, and FADH₂ are produced in the citric acid cycle?

Where do the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in eukaryotic cells?

Which of the following represents the major energy-related accomplishment of the citric acid cycle, even though it is not the only energy-related accomplishment?

After completion of the citric acid cycle, most of the usable energy from the original glucose molecule is in the form of __________.

If significant amounts of materials are removed from the citric acid cycle to produce amino acids for protein synthesis, which of the following will result?

Where does the citric acid cycle occur in eukaryotes? a. in the cytosol of cells b. in the intermembrane space of mitochondria c. in the inner membrane of mitochondria d. in the matrix of mitochondria

In the citric acid cycle, an enzyme oxidizes malate to oxaloacetate, with the production of NADH and the release of H+. You are studying this reaction using a suspension of bean cell mitochondria and a blue dye that loses its color as it takes up H+. You set up reaction mixtures with mitochondria, dye, and three different concentrations of malate (0.1 mg/L, 0.2 mg/L, and 0.3 mg/L). Which of the following graphs represents the results you would expect, and why?
