Summary Introduction

To compare: The multi-enzyme complex involved in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA with the multienzyme complex that catalyzes Step 4 of the Citric acid cycle.

Introduction:

The citric acid cycle is a cyclic metabolic pathway that involves the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to form carbon dioxide, water, and energy. CAC comprises 8 steps which include multiple redox reactions, hydration, dehydration, and decarboxylation reactions.

Question #1: Choanoflagelletes are a unicellular ancestor to animals. One observation to support this hypothesis is the appearance of adhesion molecules that are key to the development of multiceullarity. Bulk transport Gap junctions Animals. Adhesion, cell signaling Single-celled :} Insects, mammals, and other animals with bilateral symmetry (~10,000,000) Jellyfish and their relatives (10,000) } Sponges (10,000) Choanoflagellates (150) Despite their simple unicellular lifestyle they express adhesion molecules including cadherins and lectins (King et al., 2003) but don't seem to have molecules that are typically found in the extracellular matrix such as integrins or laminins (Williams et al., 2014). Design a microscopy experiment to test the assertion that choanoflagellates have (some) adhesion molecules and those molecules play a similar role in a closely related animal like sponges.
