During conversion of pyruvic acid into acetyl CoA, pyruvic acid is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Oxidised
The pyruvic acid generated in the glycolysis enters into the mitochondrial matrix, undergoes oxidative decarboxylation and forms active acetate in a coordinated series of reactions catalyzed by the multienzyme complex. The reaction requires the participation of an enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase and several coenzymes including NAD+, coenzyme A, thiamine pyrophosphate and lipoic acid. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
