Question

Select the correct sequence of formation of given intermediates of Krebs\' cycle.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In Kreb's cycle:

1. Dehydrogenation: This process converts succinate into 4 carbon fumarate with the aid of enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase, and liberates a pair of hydrogen atoms.

2. Hydration. This process changes fumarate into 4- carbon maltate in the presence of water and an enzyme furmarase.

3. Dehydrogenation: This process restores oxaloacetate by removing a pair of hydrogen atoms from maltate with the help of an enzyme maltate dehydrogenase.

So, the correct answer is 'Succinate → Fumarate →Malate → OAA'.
