At how many places in Kreb's cycle from pyruvic acid, the enzyme dehydrogenases are involved?

Options

  1. A3
  2. B4
  3. C5
  4. D6

Correct answer

C. 5

Step-by-step solution

In Kreb's cycle oxidation occurs by dehyrdrogenation in which the hydrogen released is accepted by hydrogen acceptors like NAD and FAD. A total of five steps involve the dehydrogenation reaction involving the enzyme dehydrogenase, in which there are four points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+ and one point FAD+ is reduced to FADH2. The enzymes like pyruvic dehydrogenase, isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric acid dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase are involved in t
