Original radioactivity will be found in the oxaloacetate

Reference no: EM13534619

You do an experiment in which you add oxaloacetate uniformlylabeled with 14C (ie with equal amounts of 14C in each of its carbon atoms) along withunlabeled acetyl-CoA to an extract of mitochondria. After a single pass through theTCA cycle, what fraction of the original radioactivity will be found in the oxaloacetate?
