Vedclass · Answer

(D) The Krebs cycle,also known as the Citric Acid Cycle,begins with the condensation reaction between a $2$-carbon molecule,Acetyl $CoA$,and a $4$-carbon molecule,Oxaloacetate (or Oxaloacetic acid).This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme Citrate Synthase.The product of this condensation is a $6$-carbon compound called Citric acid (or Citrate).Therefore,the cycle is initiated by the combination of Oxaloacetate and Acetyl $CoA$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ $4$ $C$ compound	$(1)$ Acetyl $CoA$
$(b)$ $2$ $C$ compound	$(2)$ Pyruvate
$(c)$ $5$ $C$ compound	$(3)$ Citric acid
