17. (a) Krebs cycle / Citric acid cycle / Tricarboxylic acid cycle.

(b) Succinyl -CoA

(c) (i) Decarboxylation / Dehydrogenation

(ii) –A carbon dioxide molecule comes out of the α-ketoglutarate (5-carbon compound) through oxidative
decarboxylation.
-
NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+
-
A coenzyme is added to form succinyl coenzyme A (4-carbon compound)

(d) Succinate dehydrogenase

18. (a) –An enzyme catalyses a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
 The active site of the enzyme binds to the substrate.
 When an enzyme binds to the substrate, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex.
 An enzyme catalyses a chemical reaction by bringing the substrates together in an optimal orientation.
 Thus, creating an ideal chemical environment for the reaction to occur.
 After the enzyme has successfully catalysed a chemical reaction, the products of the reaction are released
and the enzyme is free to repeat the process.

(b) –Km is the Michaelis-Menten constant that shows the affinity of the substrate for the enzyme.
 Km is the substrate concentration at ½ Vmax
 The lower the Km value is, the greater is the affinity between the substrate and the enzyme
 The higher the Km value is, the less is the affinity between the substrate and the enzyme

(c) – Exposure of an enzyme to a substrate causes the active site of the enzyme to change shape. The active site is
flexible.
 When the substrate binds onto the active site, it induces conformational changes in the active site.
 The substrate fits into the active site to form an enzyme-substrate complex.
 This causes breaking of existing bonds and forming of new bonds.
 The product is formed and the enzyme reverts to its original conformation.

19. (a) –Aerobic respiration requires oxygen whereas fermentation does not require oxygen.
  Aerobic respiration involves complete oxidation of glucose whereas fermentation does not.
 Aerobic respiration occurs in most cells whereas fermentation occurs in muscle / yeast cells only.
 The end products of aerobic respiration are CO 2, ATP and water whereas the end products of fermentation
are ATP, ethanol and CO2 in plants and ATP and lactic acid in animals.
 Aerobic respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain whereas anaerobic
respiration involves only glycolysis.
 In aerobic respiration, NADH is used for producing energy whereas in fermentation NADH is used for
reducing ethanol.
 Aerobic respiration produces 38 ATP per glucose molecule whereas fermentation produces only 2 ATP.
 Aerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria whereas anaerobic respiration occurs only in
the cytoplasm.

19. (b) –During starvation, alternative sources of energy are lipids and proteins.
 Lipids are hydrolysed to form glycerol and fatty acids.
 Glycerol is phosphorylated to form glyceraldehydes phosphate / PGAL /G3P/ phosphoglyceraldehyde.
Glyceraldehyde phosphate enters glycolysis.
 Fatty acids are oxidized to break into 2C acetyl groups by β-oxidation.
 The acetyl group combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA. Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle.
 Amino acids undergo oxidative deamination.
 Keto acids are produced. Keto acids enter the Krebs cycle.

phosphate (GP)
Photorespiration Oxygen is the competitive inhibitor The high concentration of carbon
and photorespiration occurs dioxide inhibits photorespiration
Efficiency Less efficient More efficient
Yield Lower yields Higher yields

(b) – Carbon dioxide is used in the carbon-fixation stage in the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis
 Carbon dioxide is used to form triose-phosphate which is then converted to hexose sugars
 The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 0.04%.
 The rate of photosynthesis decreases at low concentrations of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide acts as a
limiting factor.
 In C3 plants, low concentrations of carbon dioxide cause photorespiration.
 When the carbon dioxide concentration increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases
 Until a saturation point is reached where other factors become the limiting factors
