1.	Question : Name the site (s) of pyruvate synthesis. Also, write the chemicalreaction whereinpyruvic acid dehydrogenaseacts as a catalyst.
Answer» Solution :Pyruvate is made at the end of Glycolysis . Two molecules of pyruvate are FORMED from molecule of Glucose. Pyruvic acid dehydrogenase forms Acetyl CoA frompyruvic acid. For that`NAD^(+)`coenzyme Aand `Mg^(+2)` are necessary . Equation : Pyruvic acid `+ CoA+ NAD + underset("Pyruvate dehydrogenase ")overset (MG^(+2))to "Acetyl "CoA + NADH + H^(+) + CO_(2) uarr`
