The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria. There are nine biochemical reactions involved in the Krebs cycle, and they are highly ordered. Select the correct order. (Note: These are abbreviated and do not show NAD, ADP, ATP, or FAD.)  

A.  acetyl-CoA joins the Kreb cycle and unites with oxaloacetate ®forming citrate ®which forms beta-ketoglutarate ® which forms succinyl-CoA ® which forms succinate ® which forms fumarate ® which forms malate ® which forms oxaloacetate B.  acetyl-CoA joins the Kreb cycle and unites with oxaloacetate ®forming citrate ®which forms alpha-ketoglutarate ® which forms succinyl-CoA ® which forms succinate ® which forms malate ® which forms fumarate ® which forms oxaloacetate C.  acetyl-CoA joins the Kreb cycle and unites with oxaloacetate ®which forms alpha-ketoglutarate ® forming citrate ® which forms succinyl-CoA ® which forms succinate ® which forms fumarate ® which forms malate ® which forms oxaloacetate D.  acetyl-CoA joins the Kreb cycle and unites with oxaloacetate ®forming citrate ®which forms alpha-ketoglutarate ® which forms succinyl-CoA ® which forms succinate ® which forms fumarate ® which forms malate ® which forms oxaloacetate
