Back to 3.3: Round and Round
In this puzzle need to identify both the biological cycles depicted and the reactants indicated. Enough hints should have been provided to disambiguate the reactants within each cycle, and also to provide hints about what each cycle actually is.
| Cycle | Index | Letter | Reactant | Index | Letter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CITRIC ACID | 1 | C | SUCCINATE | 3 | C | |
| CORI | 2 | O | LACTATE | 4 | T | |
| MENSTRUAL | 3 | N | FOLLICULAR PHASE | 5 | I | |
| CALVIN | 4 | V | RIBULOSE 1,5-BISPHOSPHATE | 6 | O | |
| UREA | 3 | E | CITRULLINE | 9 | N |
The letters spell CONVECTION, a mode of heat transfer which often results in cycles within a fluid.
