Question

Match List I with List II:

	List I		List II
A.	Oxidative decarboxylation	I.	Citrate synthase
B.	Glycolysis	II.	Pyruvate dehydrogenase
C.	Oxidative phosphorylation	III.	Electron transport system
D.	Tricarboxylic acid cycle	IV.	EMP pathway

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A – II, B – IV, C – I, D – III
• B. A – III, B – I, C – II, D – IV
• C. A – II, B – IV, C – III, D – I
• D. A – III, B – IV, C – II, D – I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To match List I with List II correctly, we need to understand the processes and enzymes involved:

1. Oxidative decarboxylation refers to the process where pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA with the release of carbon dioxide. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme Pyruvate dehydrogenase. Thus, A matches with II.
2. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP in the process. This occurs through a series of steps known as the EMP pathway (Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway). Therefore, B matches with IV.
3. Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which ATP is formed as electrons are transferred through the Electron transport system (ETS). This matches C with III.
4. Tricarboxylic acid cycle involves the conversion of acetyl-CoA into citrate by the enzyme Citrate synthase. Hence, D matches with I.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A – II, B – IV, C – III, D – I.
