Question

Connecting link between glycolysis and Krebs' cycle is (A) PGA (B) aldehyde (C) ketone (D) acetyl CoA

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.

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.

$PG A$

acetyl $C o A$
