Question

In which of the following steps of aerobic respiration of glucose, carbon dioxide is evolved? I. Glycolysis II. Link reaction III. Krebs cycle IV. Electron transport system (A) I and II (B) I, II and III (C) II, III and IV (D) II and III

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the link reaction pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A also producing reduced coenzyme NADPH +

H^{+}

and carbon dioxide in the presence of enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. In the Kreb's cycle, carbon dioxide is evolved at two points:
a. During the conversion of isocitric acid to oxalosuccinic acid.
b. During the conversion of alpha-ketoglutaric acid to succinyl co-A
