  1. Question 1

    Q1. In the Krebs cycle, substrate-level phosphorylation occurs during a single specific step. Identify the transformation where this ATP (or GTP) production happens.

    • A) Citrate to Isocitrate
    • B) Succinyl-CoA to Succinate
    • C) Fumarate to Malate
    • D) Malate to Oxaloacetate

    Answer: Succinyl-CoA to Succinate

    Explanation: ATP is produced directly during the conversion of Succinyl-CoA to Succinate; other steps produce NADH or FADH2 via redox.
