A) Calvin cycle
B) Nitrogen cycle
C) Hill reaction
D) Krebs cycle
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Pyruvic acid enters in the matrix of mitochondria and undergoes acetylation by oxidative decarboxylation to form 2-carbon compounds acetyl Co-A. Kreb cycle is basically a catabolic reaction as it oxidises acetyl Co-A and organic acids into \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}O.\] It involves 8 steps to oxidize 2 molecules of acetyl Co-A produced in reaction completely into \[4C{{O}_{2}},\text{ }10{{H}_{2}}O,\] \[2ATP,\text{ }2FAD{{H}_{2}}\] and \[6NADH+{{H}_{+}}\]
