Ncert Exercises & Solutions

Match the following columns.

Column I

Column II

A. Molecular oxygen

B. Electron acceptor

C. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

D. Decarboxylation

1. $α$ - ketoglutaric acid (1)

2. Hydrogen acceptor(A)

3. Cytochrome-c (B)

4. Acetyl Co - A(C)

Codes

(a) Molecular oxygen ultimately combines with hydrogen to form water at the end of Electron Transport Chain (ETC).

Cytochrome-c is an electron acceptor in ETS.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase catalyses reaction converting pyruvic acid into acetyl Co- A.

Decarboxylation oxalosuccinate forms

α

-ketoglutaric acid in a decarboxylation reaction.
