The Federal Republic of Spain: A Tumultuous Era
The newly formed Cortes proclaimed the Federal Republic. Francisco Pi y Maragall became president, and Nicolás Salmerón was elected president of the Congress of Deputies. The draft constitution was not approved, although Castelar’s legacy would clear the path for decentralization. The Spanish nation was envisioned to be composed of seventeen states, grouping peninsular and island territories, plus Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Cellular Respiration: Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Krebs Cycle
The Krebs cycle is the oxidation of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA to CO2, while reducing NAD and FAD. These reduced coenzymes are subsequently reoxidized by the respiratory chain, generating ATP. It consists of a series of eight enzymatically catalyzed reactions that occur in the mitochondrial matrix:
- Acetyl-CoA condenses with oxaloacetate to yield citrate, a tricarboxylic acid.
- Citrate is converted to isocitrate.
- Oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate yields alpha-ketoglutarate, forming

Fault Traps
The faulting of stratified rock occurs as a result of vertical and horizontal stress. At some point, the rock layers break, resulting in the rock faces along the fracture moving or slipping past each other into an offset position. A fault trap is formed when the faulted formations are tilted toward the vertical. When a non-porous rock face is moved into a position above and opposite a porous rock face, it seals off the natural flow of the hydrocarbons, allowing them to accumulate.
