What happens immendiately after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria?

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.

What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria?
Acetyl CoA forms.
What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondrion?
It is carried by specific transporters (the negative charge on pyruvate won't allow it to diffuse) before being acted on by pyruvate dehydrogenase. I don't think these transports are named.
What happens immediately after pyruvate brought into the mitochondrion?
Acetyl CoA forms.
What happens immediately after pyruvate is into the mitochondrion?
Acetyl CoA forms.
What happens during glucolysis in cellular respiration?
glucose is changed into pyruvate

What happens when Pyruvate reacts with dinitrophenylhydrazine in SGOT?
it forms a highly coloured hydrazone
What happens in the pyruvate reaction?
One of the three carbon atoms that make up pyruvate is cleaved off by the rather large enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. This carbon atom attached to oxygen and becomes carbon dioxide(what you exhale). This reaction is known as a decarboxylation reaction. Then the other two remaining carbon atoms make up an acetyl group. Along with the acetyl group is hydrogen which will reduce NAD+ to NADH. The acetyl group is added to coenzyme a, and is called acetyl coenzyme a, or acetyl CoA for short. This is the ultimate creation of the oxidation of pyruvate. If there is a high concentration of ATP then the acetyl-CoA is used for fatty acid biosynthesis. If not than it will be used for oxidative metabolism. That's the basics of it for it is very complex.
Muscle cells when an individual is excerising heavily and when the muscle becomes oxygen deprived convert pyruvate to lactate What happens to the lactate in the skeletal muscle cells?
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
What happens to pyruvate molecules formed glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?
they will enter the Krebs cycle
What happens after mitochondria?
your dick becomes smaller
