Answer 2

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex is use in converting pyruvate to acetyl Co-A.

Explanation:

• Pyruvate is formed as a result of the chemical process called glycolysis.
• The Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex consists of three enzymes which are a part of the process which involves decarboxylation of pyruvate.
• The acetyl Co-A enters the Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle which is involved in cellular respiration.
• The three enzymes which are a part of the complex are:

1. Pyruvate dehydrogenase also called E1.
2. Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase also called E2
3. Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase also called E3.
