B. The intermediate compound which links glycolysis with Krebs' cycle is malic acid
C. It occurs in mitochondria
D. It starts with six carbon compound

Answer

B

Explanation

Pyruvate which is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of carbohydrates in the cytosol after it enters the mitochondrial matrix undergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complex set of reactions catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase. It requires several coenzymes like `NAD^(+)` and coenzyme A
