Vedclass · Answer

(B) The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl $CoA$ is a link reaction that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.In this process,one molecule of pyruvate $(3C)$ undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form one molecule of acetyl $CoA$ $(2C)$.This reaction is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.During this step,one molecule of $CO_2$ is released (decarboxylation) and $NAD^+$ is reduced to $NADH + H^+$ (oxidation).

$(c)$ $5$ $C$ compound	$(3)$ Citric acid
$(d)$ $3$ $C$ compound	$(4)$ $\alpha$-Ketoglutaric acid
	$(5)$ Malic acid
