Which statement is wrong for Krebs' cycle?

1. There are three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+
2. There is one point in the cycle where FAD+ is reduced to FADH2
3. During conversion of succinyl Co-A to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesised
4. The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl Co-A) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid

The TCA cycle is considered as an aerobic pathway because

1. all enzymes of the cycle use molecular oxygen

2. some enzymes of the cycle require molecular oxygen

3. molecular oxygen is essential to reoxidise the coenzymes reduced during operation of

the cycle.

4. in absence of oxygen, the enzymes of TCA cycle are denatured.
