Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid results in the formation of
I. Acetyl CoA , II. `CO_(2)`
III. ATP , IV. `NADH+H^(+)`

Options

A. Only I
B. Both I and II
C. I.II and III
D. I,II and IV

Answer

D

Explanation

(d)In mitochondria,pyruvic acid(formed by the glycolysis catabolism of carbohydrates in cytosol)undergoes oxidative decarboxylation,ie.removal of`CO_(2)` in aerobic conditions forming a key compound,ie.acetyl Co-A by the actgion of pyruvic acid dehydrogenase(in mitrochondrial matrix)through a series of reaction.Besides acetyl-Co-A,`CO_(2)` and NADH+`H^(+)`are also formed in this process pyruvic acid Co-A+`NAD^(+)`
` underset("Pyruvate dehydrogenase")overset(mg^(2+))to "Acetyl Co"-A+NADH+H^(+)
