The image below represents the steps of the Krebs cycle. Which of the following processes correctly describes the event at step #4? pyruvate 3C NAD+ NADH + H+ CO2 acetyl CoA 2C oxaloacetate 4C NADH + H+ NAD+ malate 4C citrate 6C isocitrate 6C fumarate 4C NAD+ NADH + H+ CoA FADH2 FAD succinate 4C CO2 a-ketoglutarate 5C NAD+ NADH + H+ GTP succinyl CoA 4C GDP A. A 5-carbon sugar is oxidized to another 5-carbon sugar, which releases a molecule of CO2. B. Electrons released from a sugar are captured by CO2, and coenzyme NAD+ is oxidized. C. Oxidation of a sugar releases a molecule of CO2 as the coenzyme NAD+ captures electrons. D. ATP is synthesized from the phosphorylation of ADP with an inorganic phosphate.
