Citrate undergoes dehydration to form unstable compound
Citrate undergoes dehydration to form unstable compound
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A iso-citrate
In step two, an enzyme called aconitase converts citrate into isocitrate. Next, an isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme oxidizes isocitrate, a six-carbon molecule, to a five-carbon α-ketoglutarate. The carbon that was lost is released as carbon dioxide and one NADH is also formed.So, the correct option is, 'Isocitrate'.
