Dehydration
|
|
|
Reduction
|
|
|
Oxidative decarboxylation
|
|
|
Dephosphorylation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Acetyl-CoA is generated either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate from glycolysis, which occurs in mitochondrial matrix, by oxidation of long-chain fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of certain amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the TCA cycle where it is oxidized for energy production.
