Best Answer

Citrate is a product / intermediate of the TCA Cycle (Which is responsible for breaking down Acetyl Coenzyme A ( Acetyl CoA ) into its final energy sources (1xGTP, 3xNADH, 1xFADH2) and byproducts CO2. Citrate generally remains in the Mitochondria (Where the TCA Cycle takes place), but may be transported to the cytosol. Citrate in the cytosol (The location of Glycolysis) acts to inhibit phosphofructokinase, which is an enzyme in the rate limiting step of Gl Save ycolysis involving the reaction of Fructose-6-phosphate to Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.

To summarize / Homework Answer: Increased cytosol levels of Citrate will decrease the rate of Glycolysis.

What are example of enzymes regulated by feed back?

Glucokinase is the enzyme responsible for phosphorylation of glucose in the first step of glycolysis. The glucokinase complex is modified by two different molecules: citrate and ATP. Citrate and ATP are both products of the sequence of reactions in aerobic respiration and are consequently products of glycolysis. As these two molecules' concentrations in the cell build up, they bind to the allosteric site of glucokinase and shut it down.

What are the intermediate products of the Kreb cycle?

A cycle has no beginning or end... But if you are referring to the end product that is recombined to form the first product of the cycle, it is oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate is a 4-carbon compound that binds to the 2-carbon compound, acetyl-CoA, which is derived from the link reaction after glycolysis. After binding to acetyl-CoA and Coenzyme A leaves the compound, the resulting product is a 6-carbon compound, citrate. Citrate is eventually decarboxylated and oxidised to form oxaloacetate once more.
