Q. Connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs' cycle is

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2015Respiration in Plants

Solution:

The pyruvic acid, generated in the glycolysis, enters into the mitochondrial matrix, undergoes oxidative decarboxylation and forms active acetate i.e., acetyl $Co-A$. The acetyl $Co-A$ is accepted by the Krebs' cycle. Therefore, it acts as intermediate compound between glycolysis and Kreb's cycle.
