Question

Put these steps of the citric acid cycle into the correct sequence. 1. The breakdown of one glucose molecule produces two acetyl CoA molecules. 2. Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate and releases coenzyme A. 3. Two carbon atoms are released from acetyl CoA and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct sequence of steps in citric acid cycle has been mentioned below -

Explanation:

• 2 acetyl CoA molecules are produced from the breakdown of one glucose molecule.
• Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate and releases CoA.
• Two carbon atoms are released from acetyl CoA and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

The sequence of steps is correct in the question i.e. 1 → 2 → 3

These are the first three steps in the citric acid cycle which occurs during the cellular respiration.
