Answer:

Explanation:

→ Two molecules of pyruvate were produced from glycolysis and converted into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A, two carbon dioxide, and two NADH + H+ molecules through pyruvate oxidation, an intermediate step between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

  • The process of cellular respiration proceeds in four steps: Glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylation, Citric acid cycle and electron transport chain.
  • The glycolysis process results in the production of the two molecules of pyruvate. These two pyruvate molecules formed in the cytoplasm gets transported to the mitochondria where it gets converted into the Acetyl CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation.
  • The Acetyl CoA then enters into the TCA cycle or Citric acid cycle where it gets converted into other products.
  • Thus, Acetyl CoA links the glycolysis to the Citric acid cycle.
