The succinate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes
A)the formation of a single hydrogen bond in the oxidation of succinate to fumarate.
B)the formation of a double bond in the oxidation of succinate to fumarate.
C)Both A and B.
D)None of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The succinate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate by removing two hydrogen atoms from succinate, which results in the formation of a double bond between the carbon atoms of the molecule. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as it refers to the formation of a single hydrogen bond, which is not a part of the reaction catalyzed by the succinate dehydrogenase complex. Similarly, choice C is also incorrect as it includes both choices A and B, whereas only choice B is correct. Lastly, choice D is incorrect as the succinate dehydrogenase complex does catalyze a specific reaction.
