(C) Oxidative phosphorylation is not a part of Kreb's cycle.
Kreb's cycle: Kreb's cycle, also known Tricarboxylic acid cycle is a process in aerobic organisms where acetate is oxidised for yielding energy.
Kreb's cycle starts with Acetyl CoA which is formed via oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid.
Parts of Kreb's cycle:
- Dehydrogenation: The process of removal of water is dehydrogenation. In Kreb's cycle dehydrogenation occurs 4 times.
- Acetylation: The process of addition of acetyl group is termed as acetylation.
- Decarboxylation: The process of removal of a carboxyl group to release carbon dioxide is termed as decarboxylation. It occurs twice in the cycle.
The process of Kreb's cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
