How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citric acid cycle-?
HunterReedgp4639
The breakdown of pyruvic acid is usually accomplished by a series of reactions. Citric acid is usually the 1st compounds formed by these reactions.

What is the end product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
The end product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid occur in acetyl-CoA. The breakdown of pyruvic acid related tot he citric acid cycle is the first thing added to citric acid cycle.
The complete breakdown of one molecule of pyruvic acid is called what?
the krebs cycle
What escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle?
coenzyme A (CoA)
Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
What is the breakdown of pyruvic acid in the presence of oxygen called?
The breakdown of pyruvic acid in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration. At the beginning of aerobic respiration, acidic acid bonds to a molecule called coenzyme A to form Acetyl CoA.
What is the end product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid?

How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citirc acid cycle?
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
How is glycolosis different from the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to give pyruvic acid and energy. Pyruvic acid is then used for different reactions, the most important one being Kreb's cycle.
What happens to the pyruvic acid before entering the citric acid cycle?
I do not know the answer Jaylen
The complete breakdown of one molecule of pyruvic acid is called what?
the krebs cycle
What does glucose oxidation not yield?
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
What specifically escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle?
CoA
What escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle?
coenzyme A (CoA)
Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
When does Calvin cycle begin?
When acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate is present.
What cycle breaks down pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and produces nadh fadh2 and atp?
The citric acid cycle a.k.a. the tricarboxylic acid cycle , the Krebs cycle, or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle
What is the breakdown of pyruvic acid in the presence of oxygen called?
The breakdown of pyruvic acid in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration. At the beginning of aerobic respiration, acidic acid bonds to a molecule called coenzyme A to form Acetyl CoA.
