Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct answer is $B$. In aerobic respiration,the pyruvic acid produced during glycolysis enters the mitochondrial matrix. Inside the mitochondria,it undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form Acetyl-$CoA$,which then enters the Kreb's cycle (also known as the Citric Acid Cycle or $TCA$ cycle). In this cycle,pyruvic acid is completely oxidized in the presence of oxygen to release $CO_2$,$H_2O$,and energy in the form of $ATP$,$NADH$,and $FADH_2$.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$i.$ Isocitrate dehydrogenase	$a.$ Citrate $\rightarrow$ Cis-aconitate
$ii.$ Fumarase	$b.$ Succinate $\rightarrow$ Fumarate
$iii.$ Aconitase	$c.$ Fumarate $\rightarrow$ Malate
$iv.$ Succinate dehydrogenase	$d.$ Isocitrate $\rightarrow$ Oxalosuccinic acid
