In the TCA cycle, succinate is converted to ketoglutarate by the enzyme:
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the enzyme in the TCA cycle that converts succinate to ketoglutarate, which pertains to biochemical processes.
Answer
The answer is not listed; succinate is converted by succinate dehydrogenase.
Succinate is converted to fumarate by succinate dehydrogenase, not directly to ketoglutarate.
Answer for screen readers
Succinate is converted to fumarate by succinate dehydrogenase, not directly to ketoglutarate.
More Information
In the TCA cycle, succinate is oxidized to fumarate by succinate dehydrogenase. The conversion to alpha-ketoglutarate involves isocitrate dehydrogenase.
Tips
Don't confuse succinate conversion with the alpha-ketoglutarate formation step.
