Question

during private oxidation pyruvate is converted into glucose .

answer true or false.....
if false then write the correct answer....

Answer 1

HEY!!

False

Pyruvate is produced by glycolysis in the cytoplasm, but pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix (in eukaryotes). ... A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and released as carbon dioxide. The two-carbon molecule from the first step is oxidized, and NAD+ accepts the electrons to form NADH.
