In which process is d1g6 fkr2ac7o pyruvate converted to acetylxqyb 3 4 u.kj1(hnedd8)n g+qp CoA?
A. Glycolysis
B. Link reaction
C. Krebs cycle
D. Oxidative phosphorylation
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
In glycolysis (Choice A), *b1kwe5*cngda.se;c w o5mi; glucose is broken down into pyruvate and this happens in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis is incorrect because pyruvate is only produced at the end of glycolysis and is not converted to acetyl CoA.
Pyruvate produced during glycolysis enters the mitochondria where it is converted to acetyl CoA during the link reaction. (Choice B)
Th*i w eo;5bc1mna . gew;ksd*5ce Link reaction (Choice B) is the reaction that bridges glycolysis with the next stage which is the Krebs cycle (Choice C). Hence, the Krebs cycle is incorrect because acetyl CoA is the reactant and needs to be produced prior to entering the Krebs cycle.
The stage after the Krebs cycle is known as oxidative phosphorylation (Choice D) which involves the synthesis of ATP.
