Products of the Citric Acid Cycle

98.2K
The cells of most organisms—including plants and animals—obtain usable energy through aerobic respiration, the oxygen-requiring version of cellular respiration. Aerobic respiration consists of four major stages: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. The third major stage, the citric acid cycle, is also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Electrolysis03:00

Electrolysis

25.9K
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...

The Citric Acid Cycle: Output

7.5K
The citric acid cycle is termed an amphibolic pathway as it operates both anabolically and catabolically. The cyclic reactions balance the flux of the substrates to provide an optimal concentration of NADH and ATP to the cell.
Regulation of Citric Acid Cycle
The citric acid cycle is regulated in several ways, including feedback inhibition, regulation of enzyme activities, and associated anaplerotic or cataplerotic pathways.
The primary substrate of the TCA cycle—acetyl CoA—is...

Electrodeposition01:08

Electrodeposition

581
Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.
Electrodeposition can...

Carbon Dioxide Transport in the Blood01:19

Carbon Dioxide Transport in the Blood

1.6K
Carbon dioxide (CO2) transport in the blood is critical to human physiology. On average, our body cells produce around 200 mL of CO2 per minute, precisely the quantity expelled by the lungs. This process involves the transportation of CO2 from the tissue cells to the lungs in three primary forms.
Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...

Turbulent Flow: Problem Solving

89
Carbonation is a process used to dissolve carbon dioxide gas in a liquid, commonly used in the production of carbonated beverages. Achieving efficient carbonation requires careful control of temperature, pressure, and flow conditions. By adjusting these parameters, carbonation efficiency can be maximized, producing a higher concentration of CO2 in the liquid.
Temperature is a key factor in CO2 solubility. In this case, the CO2 gas and the liquid are cooled to 20°C. Lower temperatures...

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction in acidic media is crucial for enhancing carbon efficiency.
  • Alkali cations are commonly added to suppress hydrogen evolution and promote CO2 reduction.
  • However, cation transport across membranes alters electrolyte composition, impacting long-term performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively analyze electrolyte composition variations and carbon flow during CO2 reduction.
  • To identify the mechanisms behind decreased carbon efficiency in acidic media.
  • To propose strategies for maintaining high and stable carbon efficiency in CO2 electroreduction.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative simulation and experimental analysis of electrolyte composition changes.
  • Investigation of alkali cation and proton (H+) transport dynamics.
  • Characterization of cathode surface for salt precipitation.
  • Electrocatalyst modification with cation-exchange ionomers.

Main Results:

  • High initial alkali cation concentrations in the anolyte lead to catholyte pH increase and reduced carbon efficiency during prolonged electrolysis.
  • Bicarbonate salt precipitation on the cathode, caused by alkali-containing catholytes, further decreases CO2 reduction efficiency.
  • Electrolytes with low or no alkali cations are recommended for high carbon efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Electrolyte composition, particularly alkali cation concentration, significantly impacts CO2 reduction efficiency and stability.
  • Minimizing alkali cations or employing ionomer-modified catalysts can prevent efficiency loss.
  • Ionomer-decorated cathode catalysts enable stable CO2 reduction in pure acid solutions for extended periods.
