Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Krebs' cycle,also known as the citric acid cycle,takes place in the mitochondrial matrix during aerobic respiration.Glycolysis produces pyruvic acid,which is converted into Acetyl Co-$A$ before entering the Krebs' cycle.Therefore,Acetyl Co-$A$ is the connecting link between glycolysis and the Krebs' cycle,not malic acid.The cycle begins when Acetyl Co-$A$ $(2C)$ combines with oxaloacetic acid $(4C)$ to form citric acid $(6C)$.Thus,the statement that malic acid is the connecting link is incorrect.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$

$(d)$ $3$ $C$ compound	$(4)$ $\alpha$-Ketoglutaric acid
	$(5)$ Malic acid
