The preparatory step of aerobic respiration involves the removal of CO2 from pyruvic acid to form a C2 molecule (decarboxylation), which is then complexed to coenzyme A by oxidation with NAD+ acting as the oxidizing agent.
El paso preparatorio de la respiración aeróbica implica la descarboxilación del ácido pirúvico a una molécula C2, que luego se une a la Coenzima A mediante oxidación, con NAD+ actuando como agente oxidante.
