Question

Select the wrong statement -

• A. When tripalmitin is used as a substrate in respiration, the RQ is 0.7.
• B. The intermediate compound which links glycolysis with Krebs' cycle is malic acid
• C. One glucose molecule yields a net gain of 36 ATP molecules during aerobic respiration.
• D. One glucose molecule yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The intermediate compound which links glycolysis with Krebs' cycle is malic acid

Acetyl CoA is the key intermediate between the Krebs cycle of Glycolysis. After Glycolysis, the glucose converts to Pyruvic acid which is a three-carbon molecule. It is converted into Acetyl Coenzyme-A by oxidative decarboxylation.

Thus, (B) statement is incorrect.
