"The key intermediate compound linking glycolysis to the Krebs cycle is (d) Acetyl Co-A.
Two pyruvate molecules, which are the end products of glycolysis, combine to form one molecule of acetyl coenzyme A.
This acetyl coenzyme A, then combines with water to form citrate, which is the first step of citric acid cycle or Krebs’s cycle.
Thus, it is the key intermediate which links glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
