Deborah Waller · Answer 1

a, b, d are correct about citric acid cycle

Explanation:

a. The major reactants in the citric acid cycle are acetyl CoA, NAD +, GDP, and FAD. acetyl CoA from glycolysis cycle, and other reactants are NAD, GDP and FAD reacts to form NADH, FADH2 and GTP.

b) The citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of mitochondria of the cell.

c) The citric acid cycle is an aerobic process.
