Question

Pyruvate is transformed into acetyl CoA; a two-carbon molecule is linked to Coenzyme A. Analyze the steps in which such reaction takes place.

  1. Glycolysis
  2. Oxidative phosphorylation
  3. Pyruvate oxidation
  4. Krebs cycle

hintHint:

Pyruvate is a to acetyl coenzyme A in Pyruvate oxidation

The correct answer is: Pyruvate oxidation


    • Pyruvate oxidation is also called link reaction 
    • It links the glycolysis to the Krebs cycle 
    • In Pyruvate oxidation,  Pyruvate is converted to acetyl coenzyme A, NADH and carbondioxide
