(3) A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

(4) A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Show Answer

Answer: (1) A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

Explaination-

Glycolysis- also known as EMP pathway (discovered by Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas)

Oxidative decarboxylation - Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Oxidative phosphorylation - Electron transport system (electrons derived from NADH and FADH2 combine with O2, and the energy released from these oxidation/ reduction reactions is used to drive the synthesis of ATP from ADP)

Tricarboxylic acid cycle - Citrate synthase (catalyzes oxaloacetate to eventually produce citrate as part of the citric acid (Krebs) cycle)
