During the pyruvate processing.

The products of acetyl CoA formation from a molecule of pyruvate are acetyl CoA, NADH, and carbon dioxide. This process occurs during the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction, where pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA by a series of enzymatic reactions.
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.
Citric acid and Coenzyme ASH (reduced CoA).
In the reaction that forms acetyl-CoA, the molecule that joins is pyruvate. This reaction occurs during the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria.
during pryruvate processing
Acetyl-CoA is produced from the oxidation of pyruvate in the mitochondria during the process of aerobic respiration. Pyruvate is first converted to acetyl-CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which involves a series of enzymatic reactions. Acetyl-CoA is a key molecule that enters the citric acid cycle to generate ATP through the electron transport chain.
Coenzyme A (CoA) escorts acetic acid produced from pyruvic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle by forming acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is then used as a substrate in the first step of the citric acid cycle to produce citrate.

A Condensation reaction between oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA by the enzyme citrate synthase
No, acetyl CoA is not an enzyme. Acetyl CoA is a molecule that plays a key role in metabolism by carrying acetyl groups between different biochemical reactions. It is produced in the mitochondria from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
CoA
The formation of acetyl CoA can occur through both aerobic and anaerobic pathways. In aerobic conditions, acetyl CoA is produced during the breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria. In anaerobic conditions, acetyl CoA can be derived from other molecules like fatty acids or amino acids through processes like beta-oxidation or deamination.
No, acetyl CoA is not considered a ketone body. It is a molecule involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats to produce energy in the form of ATP. Ketone bodies are a different type of molecule produced during the breakdown of fats.
The compound produced by the transfer of the acetyl group of acetyl CoA to oxaloacetate is citrate, which is the first step in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme citrate synthase.
The enzyme CoA catalyzes the reaction between pyruvic acid and CoA to form acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria. This is a crucial step in the conversion of glucose to energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce more ATP.
