2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?



(Points : 3)
Acetyl-CoA combines with pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.
The Krebs cycle produces electron carriers for the electron transport chain.
Oxygen is a waste product of the Krebs cycle.
In the Krebs cycle, carbon dioxide is used to make glucose.

Answer :

The correct option is


a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.


Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.

Answer:

The Krebs cycle produces electron carriers for the electron transport chain.
