Components in the TCA Cycle Characteristics A. Citrate Synthase 1. Enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid. B. Succinyl-CoA Conversion 2. Converts succinyl-CoA to succinic acid with the production of a molecule of GTP. C. NADH + H+ Production 3. Occurs at three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced. D. GTP to ATP Conversion 4. Involves substrate-level phosp
Options
- AA - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
Step-by-step solution
A - 4: GTP is converted to ATP via substrate-level phosphorylation during the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid. B - 2: Succinyl-CoA conversion involves the formation of succinic acid and a molecule of GTP through substrate-level phosphorylation. C - 3: NADH + H+ is produced at three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced. D - 1: Citrate synthase catalyzes the condensation of the acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid.
