Which statement is wrong for Krebs' cycle ?

A

There are three points in the cycle where `NAD^+` is reduced to `NADH+H^+`

B

There is one point in the cycle where `FAD^+` is reduced to `FADH_2`

C

During conversion of succinyl CoA to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesized

D

The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong regarding the Krebs cycle, we will analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that there are three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+. - **Evaluation**: This is correct. In the Krebs cycle, NAD+ is indeed reduced to NADH at three different steps. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement claims that there is one point in the cycle where FAD+ is reduced to FADH2. - **Evaluation**: This is also correct. FAD+ is reduced to FADH2 at one specific step in the Krebs cycle. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - The statement claims that during the conversion of succinyl coenzyme A to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesized. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The conversion of succinyl coenzyme A to succinate does indeed produce GTP. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - The statement claims that the cycle starts with the condensation of acetyl group (acetyl coenzyme A) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. The Krebs cycle actually starts with the condensation of acetyl coenzyme A with oxaloacetic acid to yield citric acid, not pyruvic acid. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement regarding the Krebs cycle is **Statement D**. ---
