Malate is oxidized by _ to oxaloacetate in Krebs's Cycle.
Correct answer: C. NAD
- A. ATP
- B. NADP
- C. NAD
- D. FAD
Explanation
NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is involved in the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate in the Krebs's Cycle. NAD acts as a coenzyme that accepts hydrogen atoms (H+) and electrons (e-) during the redox reactions in cellular respiration, including the Krebs's Cycle.
