Q. End product of citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle is

AIPMTAIPMT 1993Respiration in Plants

Solution:

The end product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid whereas acetyl CoA is the connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs' cycle. The TCA cycle was first described by Krebs, 1937 as a cyclic process in which acetyl coA is oxidised to CO2 and water. Acetyl CoA combines with oxalo acetic acid to form citric acid. After a series of cyclic reactions OAA is recycled back.
