7. Citric acid is anaplerotic cycle. Draw a well labelled diagram of Citric acid cycle giving
names of all intermediates and enzymes. Also show connections of this cycle with amino
acid metabolism and fat metabolism. (20)
8. a) Electron transport chain exists in both animals and plants. Give the differences
between both electron transport chains. (12)
