Question

Initial step of TCA cycle to yield citric acid starts with the condensation of: (A) acetyl group with OAA H 2 O catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase. (B) acetyl group with pyruvate H 2 O catalysed by the enzyme citrates synthase. (C) acetyl group with OAA H 2 O is independent of the enzyme. (D) none of the above.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (a) acetyl group with OAA H 2 O catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase.

Q. Initial step of TCA cycle to yield citric acid starts with the condensation of:

acetyl group with OAA & $H_{2} O$ & catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase.

acetyl group with pyruvate & $H_{2} O &$ catalysed by the enzyme citrates synthase.

acetyl group with OAA & $H_{2} O &$ is independent of the enzyme.

none of the above.

Correct answer is (a) acetyl group with OAA & $H_{2} O$ & catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase.
