Eventually, fumarate is converted to oxaloacetate [ox-all-oh-ASS-uh-tate], which combines with the pyruvate derivative acetyl-CoA [co eh] to restart, for ten points, what cycle of respiration, named for either its first product or for a German biochemist?
Removal of carbon dioxide in this process occurs as a result of two important dehydrogenase pathways, one of which follows the formation of α-ketoglutarate ["alpha" key-tow-GLUE-ter-ate]. That step precedes the lyase [LIE-ace] action on malate to produce fumarate, although succinate [SUH-sin- ate] is considered to be its most important intermediate.
