What is removed from pyruvate during its conversion into an acetyl group?

Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

At end of glycolysis, two pyruvate molecules are formed which contain lots of energy that can be extracted by further processes.

<u>Oxidation of pyruvate converts pyruvate which is a molecule with three carbons into acetyl CoA which is a two-carbon molecule which is attached to Coenzyme with the production of NADH  and one carbon dioxide molecule is released in the oxidation process.</u>  

Acetyl CoA further acts as a fuel for citric acid cycle in next stage of cellular respiration.

<u>Pyruvate + Coenzyme A + NAD⁺ ⇒ acetyl CoA + CO₂ + NADH + H⁺</u>
