WEDNESDAY`S WHITE ROOM REGULARS` CHOICE QUIZ.

 

My grateful thanks to 

@Cleoriff  @MI5  @pgn  @LukasB  @Martin-O2  @gmarkj  @jonsie  @Anonymous  @Marjo  @TheresaV 

for your votes via pm.

The votes have been counted and I can reveal the eight categories which received the most points are

 

  SPACE   MOVIES  WORDS  SPORT  PHYSICS  BIOLOGY  ART  FOOD & DRINK

 

I`m going to now find one question for each of these categories, which will form the White Room Regulars Quiz on Wednesday.

I hope everyone likes at least some of the categories, which remember were voted for by the regulars who take part in the WRQ, and that you, and anyone else who want to, will take part in this quiz, which should be fun - with some easier and others not-so-easy questions.

 

Thank you once again for your interest and support for the White Room Quiz.

@pgn 

Simplified diagram of the citric acid cycle. First, acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate, a four-carbon molecule, losing the CoA group and forming the six-carbon molecule citrate. After citrate undergoes a rearrangement step, it undergoes an oxidation reaction, transferring electrons to NAD+ to form NADH and releasing a molecule of carbon dioxide. The five-carbon molecule left behind then undergoes a second, similar reaction, transferring electrons to NAD+ to form NADH and releasing a carbon dioxide molecule. The four-carbon molecule remaining then undergoes a series of transformations, in the course of which GDP and inorganic phosphate are converted into GTP—or, in some organisms, ADP and inorganic phosphate are converted into ATP—an FAD molecule is reduced to FADH2, and another NAD+ is reduced to NADH. At the end of this series of reactions, the four-carbon starting molecule, oxaloacetate, is regenerated, allowing the cycle to begin again.

 

Very interesting....joy Doubt any question will be of that nature....Fear

A-level to blame, @Cleoriff, but no: my BTEC HND was where we got into it a lot. I loved the specialist bits - Parasitology and Microbiology - probably the reason I don't order steak pie and chips or whelks or mussels at the seaside... 😖
