Which statement is wrong for Krebs' cycle?
- AThere is one point in the cycle where is reduced to
- BDuring conversion of succinyl to succinic acid, a molecule of is synthesised
- CThe cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl ) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid
- DThere are three points in the cycle where is reduced to
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Statement C is wrong. The Krebs' cycle starts with the condensation of an Acetyl group (from Acetyl , 2C) with Oxaloacetic acid (OAA, 4C) to form Citric acid (6C). Pyruvic acid is first converted to Acetyl in the Link Reaction before entering the cycle.
