Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. In TCA cycle, citrate is then isomerised to isocitrate. 2. It is followed by ten successive steps of decarboxylation, leading to the formation of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and then succinyl-CoA. 3. If fatty acids were to be respired they would first be degraded to acetyl CoA and enter the pathway. 4. The continued oxidation of acetyl CoA via the TCA cycle
Options
- ABoth 1 and 5 are correct
- B3 and 4 are incorrect
- CAll are incorrect
- DOnly 2 is incorrect
Correct answer
D. Only 2 is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
In TCA cycle, citrate is then isomerised to isocitrate. It is followed by two successive steps of decarboxylation, leading to the formation of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and then succinyl-CoA.,Cytochrome c is a small protein attached to the outer surface of the inner membrane and acts as a mobile carrier for transfer of electrons between complex III and IV.
