Answer:
- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate
- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂
- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, it is important to recall that acetyl-CoA is produced either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate derived from glycolysis, which is carried out into the mitochondrial matrix, by cause of the oxidation of high-order fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of very specific amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the citric acid cycle where it is oxidized in the light of energy production.
In this manner, during such processes, there are some net inputs and outputs, therefore, they are sorted as show below, considering there some of them not classified neither as input nor output:
- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate
- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂
- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP
Best regards.
