2. in the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses nad+ as an electron acceptor. in cells, the ratio of [nad+]/[nadh] is kept very high. given the following standard reduction potentials, explain why it is so important for cells to maintain this ratio. justify your answer with words, equations and diagrams.

NAD+ act both as coenzyme as well as electron acceptor compound and get reduced to NADH by accepting electron.

Explanation:

NAD+ act as co enzyme of various biological catalyst such as malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase etc.

             NAD+ can act as co enzyme only in its oxidized form but not in its reduced form called NADH.

         Many reaction needs NAD+ to occur such as conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate, malate to oxaloacetate.

              That"s why NAD+/NADH ratio is kept very high because if this ratio bychance get  low then it will hamper the normal redox potential of NAD+/NADH.As a result many biochemical reaction will not take place.

The Evaluation of the effectiveness of legislation and facilities establishment in preventing further coral reef loss is that recent laws have limited the mariculture in certain areas making the population loss less.

A fragile, highly complex community is a coral reef and the farming of coral organisms for trade is mariculture.
