Which statement is wrong for Krebs' cycle ?

Options

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 Co-A to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesised
D. The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl Co-A) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid

Answer

D

Explanation

Option (d) is incorect, which can be corrected as:
Krebs' cycle starts with the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid and water to yield citric acid.
During conversion of succinic acid to fumaric acid `FAD^(+)` is reduced to `FADH_(2)`. During conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl Co-A, Isocitrate to oxalosuccinic acid and `alpha`- ketoglutaric acid to succinyl Co-A `NAD^(+)` is reduced to NADPH +`H^(+)`
