Acetyl CoA is produced at many steps in our body, but mainly its produced by decarboxylation of pyruvate.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acetyl CoA is the gateway molecule to Kreb's Cycle. This molecule can pass from the cytoplasm to mitochondria which can be used in further metabolic processes.

In case of aerobic respiration, glucose undergoes a metabolic breakdown to produce two molecules of pyruvate and a few NADH and ATP. But this pyruvate cannot enter the mitochondria where the next step i.e Kreb's Cycle is going to take place. This is then taken up by Pyruvate Decarboxylase complex or PDC where pyruvate is acted upon by enzyme Pyruvate Decarboxylase which also uses an oxidized NAD and Coenzyme A to produce a molecule of carbon dioxide, NADH and Acetyl CoA.

Correlational study is used to show the type of association or relationship which exists between two or more variables using statistical analysis. Ken's research shows that there is a relationship between childhood anger management and adult earning.

According to Ken's research, learning how to control anger leads to making more income during adulthood. This signifies a positive relationship between good anger management in childhood and earning made during adulthood.

Similarly poor anger management in childhood leads is associated with low earning during adulthood.

Hence, Ken's research shows that there is a relationship between childhood anger management and adult earnings.

Which type of cellular transport does not involve the flow of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low con

marusya05 [52]

The type of cellular transport that does not involve the flow of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called the active transport.

Cellular transport of ions, gases, nutrients, waste substances and other biomolecules is of two types namely, the passive transport and the active transport. Passive transport is the movement of substances along their concentration gradient from a region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration which does not require energy.

Active transport is the movement of substances against their concentration gradient from a region of their lower concentration to the region of their higher concentration. It uses energy in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The best examples being the sodium-potassium pump in the cells and the uptake of glucose in the intestines.
