The carbon atom(s) of pyruvate is(are) first converted to carbon dioxide by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the second number of carbon of pyruvate goes to oxidation and convert it to CO2 in Krebs cycle.

<h3>what is Krebs cycle ?</h3>

Krebs cycle is also known as citric acid cycle it is the conversion of sugar to the direct energy in the form of ATP which further goes to mitochondria as it is the power house of the human cell.

Pyruvate molecule release second number carbon from the chain and undergoes oxidation to form the CO2.

Therefore, second number carbon atom will converts to carbon dioxide.

The first option, collapsed in on itself. The star's core mass becomes so dense that the resulting gravity implodes the star. Interesting enough, the third option is kindof true too...some large and tenacious black holes that absorb other stars will form incredibly bright accretion disks around their perimeter before filling absorbing the star.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer: The order with respect to $NH_4^+$ is 1.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$NH_4^++NO_2^-\rightarrow N_2+2H_2O$
