Question

Which of the following is NOT true of the citric acid cycle? The citric acid cycle A. includes the preparatory reaction

B. produces ATP by substrate-level ATP synthesis

C. occurs in the mitochondria
D. is a metabolic pathway, as is glycolysis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (d) is your correct answer.....

Answer 2

Concept

The acid cycle could be a series of chemical reactions to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl=CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

To find

Not true of the acid cycle?

Explanation

A acid cycle doe not includes the preparatory reaction. The acid cycle may be a process in where acetyl CoA is modified within the mitochondria to supply energy precursors in preparation for the following step. organic process, the method where electron transport from the energy precursors from the acid cycle ends up in the phosphoryllation of ADP producing ATP. Phosphoryllation could be a process that involves the addition of phosphate to an chemical compound. Example: the addition of phosphate to glucose to supply glucose monophosphate and also the addition of phosphate to nucleotide to make nucleotide.

The preparatory reaction is that the reaction which occurs within the matrix,or interior, of he mitochondria of cells. Here the 2 pyruvate molecules from the glycolysis are combined with two coenzyme A(CoA) molecules to provide two acetyl- CoA molecules and two carbonic acid gas (CO2) molecules.
