Which of the following compounds is regenerated in the citric acid cycle?

Oxaloacetate

CORRECT

Succinate

0

Citrate

0

Pyruvate

0

Explanation

Oxaloacetate is the four-carbon molecule that is regenerated by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase in order to continue the cycle to form citrate with acetyl-CoA in the first step of the Krebs cycle. The other answer choices are intermediates of the citric acid cycle, but only oxaloacetate is regenerated, making it a true cycle.
