Question

Which statement is wrong for Kreb's cycle?

• A. There is one point in the cycle where $FA{D}^{+}$ is reduced to $FAD{H}_2$
• B. During conversion of succinyl CoA to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesised
• C. The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid
• D. There are three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to $NADH+H^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid

Krebs cycle starts with condensation of acetyl CoA(2C) with oxaloacetic acid (4C) and not pyruvic acid to form citric acid(6C).
