Answer:
Explanation:
During aerobic respiration, pyruvic acid which is formed during glycolysis enters the mitcohondrial matrix. It undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce CO2 and NADH. The product combines with sulfur-containing co-enzyme A to form acetyl CoA. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. This step is called link reaction or gateway step as it links glycolysis with Krebs' cycle.
