A) fumaric acid to malic acid
B) malic acid to oxaloacetic acid
C) conversion of citric acid to c/s aconitic acid
D) oxalosuccinic acid to \[\alpha -\]ketoglutaric acid
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Oxalosuccinate is decarboxylated to formed \[\alpha -\]ketoglutarate through the enzyme decarboxylase. This is one of the step involved in Krebs cycle. This release on molecule of \[C{{O}_{2}}.\] \[Oxalosuccinate\xrightarrow[M{{g}^{2+}}]{Decarboxylase}\] \[\alpha -\]ketoglutarate \[+\,C{{O}_{2}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
