Detailed explanation-1: -The second stage of cellular respiration involves the following steps: Pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. One molecule each of NADH and carbon dioxide is also produced.
Detailed explanation-2: -Step 2: The transformation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA The 3-carbon pyruvate molecule made in glycolysis loses a carbon to produce a new, 2-carbon molecule called acetyl CoA. The carbon that is removed takes two oxygens from pyruvate with it, and exits the body as carbon dioxide (CO 2start subscript, 2, end subscript).
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
