Identify the incorrect statement regarding the TCA (Krebs) cycle:
1. The TCA cycle begins with the condensation of the acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid (OAA) to form citric acid, catalyzed by citrate synthase.
2. The TCA cycle involves three steps where NAD⁺ is reduced to NADH + H⁺ and one step where FAD⁺ is reduced to FADH₂.
3. During the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid, ATP is synthesized directly through substrate-level phosphorylation.
4. The continuous functioning of the TCA cycle depends on the regeneration of oxaloacetic acid as well as NAD⁺ and FAD⁺ from NADH and FADH₂.
