NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 115
Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Oxidative decarboxylation | I. Citrate synthase |
| B. Glycolysis | II. Pyruvate dehydrogenase |
| C. Oxidative phosphorylation | III. Electron transport system |
| D. Tricarboxylic acid cycle | IV. EMP pathway |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:
A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
- Option B:
A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
- Option C:Correct
A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
- Option D:
A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is catalysed by pyruvate dehydrogenase, so A-II. Glycolysis is also called the EMP pathway (Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas), so B-IV. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the electron transport system, so C-III. The TCA cycle begins with citrate synthase catalysing the condensation of acetyl-CoA with oxaloacetate, so D-I. Thus the correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I, which is option C.
