What is the name of the molecule that pyruvates are changed into during pyruvates processing?
Acetyl CoA
Before Krebs cycle can proceed pyruvate must be converted into what?
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
What compound enters the Krebs cycle and is made from the last compound?
Acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Kreb's cycle.
Where does the preparatory reaction take place within the cell?
the 2 pyruvates from glycolysis goes into acetyl CoA (2C)
What happens to acetyl CoA if its not needed in the Krebs cycle?
Acetyl CoA is multifunctional; it can be used to produce fat or ATP. If the body needs energy, acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle. If the body doesn't need energy, acetyl CoA is channelled into an anabolic pathway that synthesizes lipids as a way of storing large amounts of energy as fat.

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
What metabolites enter the citric acid cycle and is formed in part by the removal of a carbon from one molecule of pyruvate?
Acetyl CoA
What compound enters the Krebs cycle and is made from the last compound?
Acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Kreb's cycle.
What are the products of acetyl CoA formation from a molecule of pyruvate?
You gain 1 NADH and acetyl CoA during the conversion of 1 pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
How many acetyl CoA molecules may be obtained from oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid?
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Forms when pyruvic acid reacts with enzyme coa?
acetyl CoA
What starts the cycle?
Acetyl COA

How carbs proteins and fats can be converted to pyruvate glucose andor acetyl CoA and get used to make ATP or stored as fat?
Acetyl CoA
Acetyl-CoA is produced from?
In eukaryotic cells, acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria from molecules derived from sugars and fats.
