Answer:
Explanation:
Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO₂)
The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation
The term "decarboxylation" usually means replacement of a carboxyl group (-COOH) with a hydrogen atom:
RCO₂H → RH + CO₂
One of the oldest known organic reactions.

Answer:
Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide. Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.
Explanation: We get an alkane when we decarboxylate the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid by heating it with soda lime (a 3:1 mixture of caustic soda NaOH and quicklime CaO ). The conversion of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate is a crucial decarboxylation step in the Krebs cycle for the conversion of glucose to CO2 .
