    Which of the following is not an intermediate in Krebs cycle?

    A)  Acetic acid

    B)  Succinyl coenzyme-A

    C)  Maleic acid

    D)  Citric acid

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The end product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid whereas acetyl Co-A is connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs cycle. TCA was first described by Krebs as a cyclic process in which acetyl Co-A is oxidized to \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and H-f). The enzymes of Krebs cycle are found in matrix of mitochondrion. Malic acid, citric acid and succinyl co-enzyme-A are the intermediate compounds in Krebs cycle whereas acetic acid is not involved with Krebs cycle.
