Uplоаd аn imаge оf yоur answer to these questions. We have studied three reactions that take place in the mitochondrial matrix where CO2 is a product. Write out these three reactions. Include the structures and names of all substrates and products, enzyme names, and any necessary cofactors, if any. (6 pts.) NOTE: You may answer with acceptable abbreviations, but give full enzyme names.   These decarboxylation (loss of CO2) reactions are characterized as oxidative decarboxylation reactions. Two of these reactions require a coenzyme for the decarboxylation reaction, while the other one requires a metal ion as a cofactor. Using chemical structures, briefly explain the role of the metal ion cofactor in one of these reactions and explain why TTP is not required for this decarboxylation reaction. (2 pts.)
