  1. Torsten Thunberg,F. Batelli & L.S. Stern The Reactants of the Krebs Cycle By Emily MacDonald and Laura Le

  2. Introduction • - (1906 – 1920) Thunberg tried to understand cellular respiration by testing how organic substances were oxidized animals tissue. (eHow. 2009) • (1920) F. Batelli and L.S. Stern were interested in oxidative cell metabolism. They used enzymatic studies on catalase and fumarase.(eHow. 2009)

  3. Before the Experiment • Previous scientists Carl Cori and Gerry Cori investigated the conversion of nutrients into energy through anaerobic respiration. -The understanding of glycolysis was important due to the production of two pyruvate molecules that provided energy through ATP for further stages in cellular respiration. - Enzyme activity was used as a basic knowledge for their experiments It was understood that muscular activity requires ATP as energy.- F. Batelli and L.S. Based their studies off of Thunberg’s knowledge. • (Nelson, David L., & Cox, Michael M. 2005)

  4. The Experiment • Thunberg performed the first investigation by examining the oxidization of organic substances in isolated animal issues. He tested over 60 organic substances, mostly in muscle tissue. • He found that the combustion of nutrients is the repeated process of hydrogen ions separating with the help of enzymes. • F. Batelli and L.S. Stern used beef liver as their experimental investigation. They found that the enzyme Fumarase was essential for oxidation and reduction.- Studied and researched Catalase and Fumarase.(Akart, Konrad. 1996)

  5. - Thunberg characterized photosynthesis as an oxidation –reduction reaction in which CO2 is reduced and water is oxidized. - He also discovered oxidative degradation of foodstuff of animals. After the Experiment - F. Batelli and L.S. Stern concluded that minced animal tissues contained substances that transferred hydrogen atoms from specific intracellular organic acids. (eHow. 2009) - They were able to understand how the products of glycolysis were continued on to then become reactants of the Krebs Cycle. (Giora, Hons. 2009)
