Enzyme succinate dehydrogenase converts succinate into:
- A
Malate
- B
Malonic acid
- C
Citrate
- D
Fumarate
In Krebs cycle, an enzyme called succinate dehydrogenase acts on its substrate, succinate, and converts it into product fumarate.
Malate is produced when a molecule of water combines with fumerate. This option is incorrect.
This option is incorrect. Malonic acid is not a naturally occurring intermediate of Krebs cycle.
Citrate is produced when Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate a four carbon compound. This option is incorrect.
