Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Before the pyruvate that has been generated by glycolysis can be oxidized, it must be transported into a mitochondrion. This is accomplished by: ____
A
Succinyl-CoA
B
Nicotine adenide dinucleotide
C
Coenzyme A
D
Lactic dehydrogenase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Before the pyruvate that has been generated by glycolysis can be oxidized, it must be transported into a mitochondrion. This is accomplished by: a) Succinyl-CoA.

Detailed explanation-2: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.

Detailed explanation-4: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.
