Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11
Which of the following statements about the TCA cycle are correct?
A
Succinyl-CoA is converted to succinic acid while producing GTP.
B
NADH is produced in three steps of the TCA cycle.
C
Oxaloacetic acid is a product of the TCA cycle.
D
FADH2 is not generated during the TCA cycle.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Succinyl-CoA is indeed converted to succinic acid with the simultaneous synthesis of GTP, while NAD+ is reduced to NADH in three points of the cycle. However, oxaloacetic acid is not a product but a reactant that is regenerated, and FADH2 is generated in the cycle.
