Question

Which process does not occur in the Krebs cycle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is b glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules.

Explanation:

Krebs cycle is one of the most important step of aerobic respiraion.Krebs cycle occur within mitochondrial matrix.During krebs cycle the acetyl CoA generated from pyruvate reacts with oxalo acetate in a cyclic manner to regenerate 4 carbon compound oxaloacetate.

 During krebs cycle pyruvate is broken down or oxidized to form 2 carbon compound known as acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide as byproduct.

  But the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecules occur during glycolysis.
