oxygen, the produ giyco об reaction. In this reaction, the products of glycolysis react with coenzyme to produce the following. + CoA ---> + NAD+
Glycolysis : It is the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid . It is a multistep metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells , plant cells and the cells of microorganisms.
Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi ------------> @ pyruvate + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + 2ATP + 2H2O
Acetyl Co A is a metabolite derived from glucose , fatty acid and amino acid catabolism .
Acetyl Co A 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 .
