Can pyruvic acid use in the Krebs cycle?

The pyruvic acid that is produced by glycolysis is used as the initial input for the Krebs Cycle (also called citric acid cycle). In the initial step of the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation. This continues a series of chemical reactions leading to the production of 2 ATP molecules.


Which one is formed during the Krebs cycle FADH2 or pyruvic acid?

FADH2 since pyruvic acid is needed to START the Krebs cycle


When does Calvin cycle begin?

When acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate is present.


True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?

This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.


What is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle?

Does the Krebs cycle start with pyruvic acid and yield lactic acid or alcohol?

What purpose does pyruvic acid serve?

Pyruvic acid (or pyruvate) is simply one of the compounds in the metabolic pathway from sugars to carbon dioxide and water. From pyruvate (a three cabon unit) either one of two reactions can occur. It can react to form lactose or lose a carbon dioxide molecule to become a two carbon unit and enter the Krebs cycle.
