Explanation / Answer

1. Succinate dehydrogenase is enzyme catalyzes reaction where succinate is oxidized to fumarate. This process is a dehydrogenation.

2. PDH complex is a multi subunit complex which is invloved in substrate channeling.

3. Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA step catalysed by PDH complex is tightly regulated.

4. Conversion of succinyl CoA to succinate is where the substrate level phosphorylation of GDP happens catalysed by succinyl CoA synthetase.

5. Universal reducing equivalents in the form of FADH2 are generated during the conversion of succinate to fumarate catalysed by succinate dehydrogenase.

6. The reaction in which malate is converted to oxaloacetate by malate dehydrogenase is reversible, in fact favors malate.

7. Succinate dehydrogenase produces reduced form of FAD in the citric acid cycle.

8. The redox step is the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA catalysed by PDH complex.
