Answer: acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

Glucose plays a central role in energy and carbohydrate metabolism. Glycolysis - Route of degradation of 1 molecule of Glucose in 2 of Pyruvate. Pyruvate can follow 3 paths:

1) Be reduced to Ethanol - Alcoholic fermentation

2) Be reduced to Lactate - Lactic Fermentation

3) Be completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O - Citric Acid Cycle (Performed by animals, vegetables and many microbial cells under aerobic conditions). Glycolysys is linked to the citric acid cycle via the production of acetyl-CoA.

Under aerobic conditions, however, pyruvate is not reduced but rather oxidized in the mitochondria by enzymatic complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (also called pyruvate decarboxylase) with the formation of acetyl-CoA and the release of one molecule of CO2 per every peroxidized pyruvate.

The process that connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle is the acetyl CoA formation.

A type of a balanced stretch involves targeting a specific muscle group. When stretching, a person should be aware of the agonist and antagonist muscles being stretched in able to create a balance between the joints where the muscles are attached. Stretching is an important phase in the exercise cycle and should not be missed as this prevents injuries in the joints and increases the blood flow into the muscles that were used during the activity. Stretching also contributes to lessening the lactic acid build up that happens during physical activity.
