Want to know:

Detailed analysis of the damaged cells showed that ATP levels in the mitochondria were very low. Levels of pyruvate and acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) were normal. You begin to suspect a malfunction of a specific cellular metabolic pathway and so you request a more detailed analysis of the sub-cellular components of the affected cells from the autopsy. The levels of key metabolites are reported below:https://d1py7umku9kunm.cloudfront.net/assets/5301906/7deaths_metabolites.pngIn your groups, discuss the roles of each of these metabolites in cellular respiration, and whether they are substrates or products of which pathways. In LC, submit your answer to the following question:What cellular process or pathway is abnormal in these patients, based on these metabolite levels? A.glycolysis B.citric acid cycle C.electron transport chain D.pyruvate oxidation
