Question

Which statement regarding the "Krebs bicycle" is true? A) Ultimately, it results in the transport of NADH from the mitochondrial matrix to the cytosol. B) The urea cycle and the citric acid cycle have common cycle intermediates and are thus linked. C) Ultimately, it results in the transport of glutamate from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. D) It requires a set of reactions known as the aspartate–argininosuccinate shunt.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option D. It requires a set of reactions known as the aspartate–argininosuccinate shunt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Krebs bicycle is made out of on the right side the urea cycle, which networks with the aspartate-argininosuccinate shunt of the TCA cycle present on the left side. By argininosuccinate lyase, Fumarate delivered in the cytosol of the urea cycle enters the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrion and is changed over in a few stages to oxaloacetate.

Oxaloacetate gets an amino gathering with the help of transamination from glutamate, and the aspartate formed and leaves the mitochondrion and gives its amino gathering to the urea cycle in the response of argininosuccinate synthetase activity.

Thus, the correct answer is option D. It requires a set of reactions known as the aspartate–argininosuccinate shunt.
