Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid yields what?
ACitric acid, FADH2 and ATP
BAcetyl CoA, CO2 and NADH + H+
CLactic acid and water
DEthanol, CO2 and ATP
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Acetyl CoA, CO2 and NADH + H+
The pyruvic dehydrogenase reaction removes one carbon as CO2 and produces acetyl CoA plus NADH.
