A phylogenetic tree is shown for the three domains of life (Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria). The tree branches in two directions from the first point, labeled Common ancestor of all life. One branch leads in the direction of Eukarya and Archaea, and the other branch leads to Bacteria. The branch leading to Eukarya and Archaea divide, one branch leading to each domain. The branch leading to Eukarya divides into four branches. One leads to Euglenozoans, and the other three lead to branching points. The first leads to Forams in one direction, and another branching point in the other that leads to Diatoms and Ciliates. The second branching point leads to Red algae in one direction, and a branching point that leads to green algae and land plants in the other direction. The third branching point leads to amoebas in one direction, and a branching point that leads to fungi and animals in the other direction. Land plants, Fungi and Animals are all highlighted.

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA by the PDH complex, how the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex carries out the five consecutive reactions in the decarboxylation and dehydrogenation of pyruvate?

 A) Pyruvate reacts with the bound thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) of pyruvate dehydrogenase, undergoing decarboxylation to the hydroxyethyl derivative

 B) A transesterification in which the —SH group of CoA replaces the —SH group of E2 to yield acetyl-CoA and the fully reduced (dithiol) form of the lipoyl group

 C) The reduced FADH2 of E3 transfers a hydride ion to NAD1 , forming NADH, the enzyme complex is now ready for another catalytic cycle

 D) The transfer of two electrons and the acetyl group from TPP to the oxidized form of the lipoyllysyl group of the core enzyme, dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, to form the acetyl thioester of the reduced lipoyl group

 E) Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase promotes transfer of two hydrogen atoms from the reduced lipoyl groups of E2 to the FAD prosthetic group of E3 , restoring the oxidized form of the lipoyllysyl group of E2
