Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is a classic example of oxidative decarboxylation.In this reaction,pyruvate $(3C)$ undergoes both oxidation and decarboxylation (loss of $CO_2$) to form acetyl CoA $(2C)$.Simultaneously,$NAD^+$ is reduced to $NADH + H^+$.This reaction is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and serves as a vital link between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ $4$ $C$ compound	$(1)$ Acetyl $CoA$
$(b)$ $2$ $C$ compound	$(2)$ Pyruvate
$(c)$ $5$ $C$ compound	$(3)$ Citric acid
$(d)$ $3$ $C$ compound	$(4)$ $\alpha$-Ketoglutaric acid
	$(5)$ Malic acid
