Link Reaction Important
Located in the Mitochondrion matrix |
Converts 2 x Pyruvate into Acetyl CoEnzyme A |
Link Reaction occurs 2 Times for every Glucose molecule |
Link Reaction
Located in the Mitochondrion matrix |
Converts 2 x Pyruvate into Acetyl CoEnzyme A |
Pyruvate is decarboxlated (Loses a Carbon Atom) |
Removed in the form of CO2 |
Pyruvate is oxidised to form Acetate |
NAD is reduced to form NAD.2H |
Acetate is combined with Co-enzyme A (CoA) |
This Forms Acetyl Coenzyme A (Acetyl CoA) |
