In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form <em>citrate </em>with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form<em> isocitrate. </em>The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the <em>intermediate product</em> of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid <em>α-cetoglutarate. </em>Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to <em>COO-</em> . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.
In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.
There are two meanings to the word "Distal"
Anatomy
- situated away from the center of the body or from the point of attachment.
Geology

Answer:
The correct answer is B) both are made up of monomers that are linked by covalent bonds
Explanation:
The polymers consist of a set of monomers by covalent bonds. There are those that are natural (DNA formed by nucleotide units, proteins by amino acids, starch by glucose) and synthetics made by human hands (polyethylene formed by ethylene monomers).
Answer: Payback time = 0.0075
Explanation: Since payback time is calculated as:
payback time = 
First determine the installation cost:
100 mm thick insulation covers 8.3 m². Then 300 mm covers 24.9 m².
To cover 8.3m² costs £20. Then, the cost to cover 24.9 m² is:
cost = 
cost = £60
The cost of putting the insulation is £120, so the total cost is:
total cost = £60 + £120
total cost = £180
Savings per year per 100 mm thick is £80. For 300 mm, the value of annual savings is:
savings = 
savings = 240
payback time =
payback time = 
payback time = 0.75
