Which of the following reaction is associated with decarboxylation reactions during the Citric acid Cycle?
(a) Isocitrate $\to$ $α$ -Ketoglutarate
(b) $α$ -Ketoglutarate $\to$ Succinyl CoA
(c) Succinate $\to$ Fumarate
(d) Pyruvate $\to$ Acetyl CoA

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

In Kreb's cycle or Citric acid cycle when Isocitrate is converted to α$$-Ketoglutarate$$ and α$$-Ketoglutarate$$ is converted to Succinyl CoA $$CO2$$ is released. When pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA then also $$CO2$$ is released but it is a part of link reaction and not Kreb's cycle.

Which of the following reaction is associated with decarboxylation reactions during the Citric acid Cycle?
(a) Isocitrate $\to$ $α$ -Ketoglutarate
(b) $α$ -Ketoglutarate $\to$ Succinyl CoA
(c) Succinate $\to$ Fumarate
(d) Pyruvate $\to$ Acetyl CoA
