During citric acid cycle, the various organic acids undergo decarboxylation. Which of the following organic acids of the above cycle have 4C, 5C and 6C respectively?
- A Pyruvic acid, \(\alpha\)-Ketoglutaric acid and Citric acid
- B Oxaloacetic acid, Citric acid and Succinic acid
- C Succinic acid, \(\alpha\)-Ketoglutaric acid and citric acid
- D Pyruvic acid, Malic acid and \(\alpha\)-Ketoglutaric acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Succinic acid, \(\alpha\)-Ketoglutaric acid and citric acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Succinic acid, \(\alpha\)-Ketoglutaric acid and citric acid,
Citric acid, a-ketoglutaric acid and succinic acid are the components of kreb's cycle. Citric acid is a 6 carbon organic acid, a-ketoglutaric acid is a 5 carbon organic acid and succinic acid is a 5 carbon.
