Absence of _______ would disrupt the citric acid cycle but not glycolysis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that plays a crucial role in the citric acid cycle by accepting and donating electrons during the conversion of succinate to fumarate. Without FAD, the citric acid cycle would not be able to continue, as this step is essential for the regeneration of the electron carriers NADH and FADH2. Glycolysis, on the other hand, does not directly require FAD and can still produce ATP without it.
