Question : Whichare intermediate processes occurringin Glycolysis andKrebs cycle ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :PYRUVATE which is formed by theglycolytic catabolismof carbohydrates in the cytosol.
Afterit enters mitochondrialmatrixundergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complexset of reactions catalysed by pyruvicdehydrogenase.
Pyruvicdehydrogenase functions with other Coenzyme. Like `NAD^(+)` and Coenzyme (CoA).
Pyruvic acid `+ CoA + NAD^(+) (Mg^(+2))/("Pyruvate dehdrogenase ") "Acetyl " CoA + CO_(2) + NADH + H^(+)`
Duringthis process, two NUCLEI of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid (produced from one GLUCOSE molecule during glycolysis).
The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclicpathway, tricarboxylic acid CYCLE, more commonly called as Krebs. cycle afterthe scientistHans Krebs who first elucidated it.
