Example Question #1 : Glycogenolysis
Which of the following compounds is regenerated in the citric acid cycle?
Possible Answers:
Citrate
Pyruvate
Succinate
Oxaloacetate
Correct answer:
Oxaloacetate
Explanation:
Oxaloacetate is the four-carbon molecule that is regenerated by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase in order to continue the cycle to form citrate with acetyl-CoA in the first step of the Krebs cycle. The other answer choices are intermediates of the citric acid cycle, but only oxaloacetate is regenerated, making it a true cycle.
