C) Citric acid cycle
D) Glycolate cycle

Answer 1

Answer => c) Citric acid Cycle

Explanation :

Sir Hans Kreb proposed this cycle and hence it is called as Krebs cycle. These are series of cyclic chain reactions which begins with acetyl coenzyme-A molecules which act with molecules of oxaloacetic acid.

The reactions are catalysed with the help of specific enzymes. The first molecule formed in this reaction is called as citric acid.

Therefore, Krebs cycle is also called Citric acid cycle.
