Question

"Match the reactant in the TCA cycle on the left with the appropriate enzyme on the right.

A) fumarate dehydrogenase
B) malatase
C) succinyl CoA synthetase
D) malate dehydrogenase
E) citrate synthase
F) fumarate hydratase
G) succinate dehydrogenase
H) aconitase
10) oxaloacetate
11) malate
12) citrate
13) fumarate
14) succinyl CoA"

Answer 1

The reactants in the TCA cycle and their corresponding enzymes are matched: fumarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, fumarate hydratase, succinyl CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase, and aconitase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The TCA cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, involves several reactants and enzymes. Here are the matches:

1. Fumarate dehydrogenase - converts succinate to fumarate
2. Malate dehydrogenase - converts malate to oxaloacetate
3. Citrate synthase - combines acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate
4. Fumarate hydratase - converts fumarate to L-malate
5. Succinyl CoA synthetase - converts succinyl CoA to succinate
6. Succinate dehydrogenase - removes two hydrogen atoms from succinate to form fumarate
7. Aconitase - converts citrate to isocitrate
