Acetyl CoA forms.
Pyruvate is converted into acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix through a series of enzymatic reactions known as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl CoA then enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy in the form of ATP through a series of oxidation-reduction reactions.
Once pyruvate is transported into the mitochondrion, it undergoes decarboxylation, where one carbon atom is removed and released as carbon dioxide (CO2). This process is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and the remaining two-carbon molecule, acetyl-CoA, is formed. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) for further energy production. Additionally, during this conversion, NAD+ is reduced to NADH, which carries electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis.
After pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria, it undergoes a series of enzymatic reactions called pyruvate decarboxylation. In this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle) to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Acetyl CoA forms.
according to the Holt biology book of 2009, mitochondrion is no longer in use
glucose is changed into pyruvate
glucose is changed into pyruvate
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
they will enter the Krebs cycle
Pyruvate is produced by glucose.By released enegy ATP and NADH is produced.
