Question:
Which one of the following reactions is an example of oxidative decarboxylation?
Which one of the following reactions is an example of oxidative decarboxylation?
Updated On: May 30, 2022
- Conversion of succinate to fumerate
- Conversion of fumerate to malate
- Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA
- Conversion of citrate to isocitrate
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Oxidative decarboxylation is the link reaction or gateway step as it links glycolysis with Krebs? cycle. Pyruvate which is formed in cytoplasm by glycolysis produce $CO_2, NADH_2$ and acetyl CoA by oxidative decarboxylation reaction. Acetyl CoA functions as substrate entrant for Krebs? cycle.

Respiration in Plants
Respiration in plants is a process that entails the production of energy in plants. This process can simply be described as the intake of Oxygen and the release of Carbon Dioxide as an outcome of the oxidation of complex organic compounds. Though plants do not have any specific organ to balance the process of respiration, their stems, roots, and leaves do this work at a very low rate than other living beings. The process of respiration is very crucial for the plants to sustain the growth of the plant tissues.
This process can be stated as-
\[C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{Energy}\]
