All enzymes of the TCA cycle are located in the mitochondrial matrix except one which is located in inner mitochondrial membranes in eukaryotes and in cytosol in prokaryotes. This enzyme is
Options
- Aisocitrate dehydrogenase.
- Bketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
- Csuccinate dehydrogenase.
- Dlactate dehydrogenase.
Correct answer
C. succinate dehydrogenase.
Step-by-step solution
TCA cycle means Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle. It is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, acetyl-CoA, is the starting point for the TCA cycle, acetyl-CoA is the product of the reaction. Succinic acid (4C) undergoes oxidation to form Fumaric acid (4C) in the presence of enzyme Succinate dehydrogenase. The hydrogen released is accepted by coenzyme FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) and it get
