Question

In aerobic respiration pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-coa

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Pyruvic acid: Pyruvic acid can be made from glucose through glycolysis, converted back to carbohydrates (such as glucose) via gluconeogenesis, or to fatty acids through acetyl-CoA. It can also be used to construct the amino acid alanine and be converted into ethanol.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA in an intermediate process just before the Citric Acid Cycle. Here it reacts with Coenzyme A. Here it loses two of it's oxygens and one of it's carbons to form Carbon Dioxide. Also, one molecule of NAD+ is reduced to form NADH.
