Which of the following occurs in the citric acid cycle?
A) Electron carriers will get reduced
B) Oxygen is converted into water
C) Coenzyme A gets broken down to make NADH, FADH2, and a small amount of ATP
D) Energy from Acetyl is used to make recuding power in the cytosol
E) The three carbons of pyruvate gets released as CO2

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) Electron carriers will get reduced

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle includes a breakdown of acetyl CoA into carbon dioxide and water. The redox reactions that breakdown the acetyl CoA release electrons which are accepted by NAD+ and FAD+. These electron carriers are reduced into NADH and FADH2.  

One round of citric acid cycle forms a total of 3 NADH and one FADH2 during the breakdown of one molecule of acetyl CoA.
