झाडांच्या श्वासोच्छवासाच्या क्रेब्च्या चक्रादरम्यान खालीलपैकी कोणत्या प्रक्रियेद्वारे फ्यूमॅरीक अॅसिडचे रूपांतर मॅलीक अॅसिड मध्ये होते ? During Krebs cycle in respiration, fumaric acid gets converted into malic acid by

1)डिकार्बोक्सिलेशन (decarboxylation)
2)डिहायड्रोजिनीनेशन (dehydrogenation)
3)डिहायड्रेशन (dehydration)
4)हायड्रेशन (hydration)✓ Correct

During the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) in cellular respiration, fumaric acid is converted into malic acid through the addition of a water molecule, which is known as a hydration reaction. Note: MPSC's official key gives option 2 (dehydrogenation), but the fumarate-to-malate step is catalysed by fumarase and adds a water molecule, which is hydration; this site keeps the scientifically correct answer.

सुक्रोजचे एरोबिक ऑक्सिडीकरण होऊन अधिकतम किती ATP तयार होतात ? The maximum yield of ATP from the complete oxidation of sucrose via aerobic respiration is

1)37
2)44
3)60✓ Correct
4)50

Sucrose is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose. Complete aerobic oxidation of one sucrose molecule yields a maximum of about 40 ATP molecules through glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
