(b)
Interpretation:
The intermediate in the citric acid cycle which contains a secondary alcohol is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is a part of metabolic pathway can chemically convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into water and carbon dioxide to generate a form of working energy. Other significant reactions which takes place in this pathway are those which occur in glycolysis and the pyruvate oxidation which occurs before the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation takes place after it.
