Respiration in Plants

Identify the step in the tricarboxylic acid cycle which does not involve oxidation of the substrate:

  1. A.Succinic acid → Malic acid
  2. B.Succinyl-CoA → Succinic acid
  3. C.Isocitrate ketoglutaric acid
  4. D.Malic acid → Oxaloacetic acid

Solution

Succinyl-CoA → succinic acid is a substrate-level phosphorylation that releases CoA and makes GTP; no hydrogen is removed. The other three steps are dehydrogenations (oxidations).
