Question

FAD participates in Krebs\' cycle as electron acceptor during conversion of

Answer 1

Answer:

In Krebs cycle, FAD participates as electron acceptor during the conversion of succinic acid to fumaric acid. During this step, succinate is converted to fumarate. FAD acts as electron acceptor to form FADH2. The reaction takes place in presence of succinate dehydrogenase.
