What molecule is the output of glycolysis and is quickly converted to Acetyl CoA before the beginning of the citric acid cycle?

During glucose catabolism pyruvat eis produced. This three carbon molecule is broken down to acetyl Co A by the pyruvate decarboxylase reaction. The acetyl Co A feeds the Krebs cycle.


What compound that is derived from glucose actually enters the Krebs cycle?

Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) is the compound the enters the Kreb's cycle and reacts with oxaloacetate. It is dervied from the pyruvate, produced in glycolysis, that has gone through decarboxylation and has conezyme A attached to it.


Is the product of glycolysis that enters the Krebs cycle?

Fats and proteins are brought into the Krebs cycle by being converted. They can either be converted to glucose or acetyl which will go through Krebs cycle.


Before Krebs cycle can proceed pyruvate must be converted into what?

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
