The connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs cycle is

A

acetyl Co-A

B

oxalosuccinic acid

C

pyruvic acid

D

citric acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
During glycolysis 1 molecules of glucose is cenverted to 2 molecules of pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm. These two molecules of pyruvic acid is then converted to acetyl CoA by decarboxylation. This acetyl CoA is the connecting link between glycolysis and krebs cycle. combines with oxalo acetic acid to form citric acid.
