| Front | oxidative decarboxylation/link reaction |
|---|---|
| Back | - first aerobic stage (called link reaction as it links anaerobic glycolysis in cytoplasm to aerobic KC in matrix) pyruvate actively transported via carrier proteins into matrix, where it undergoes oxidative decarboxylation (loses H2 atoms and CO2 molecule)to form an acetyl group (2 carbons), of which bind to coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA - CO2 formed removed as metabolic waste product (used as raw mat of photo if autotrophic), H2 atoms accepted by NAD to form reduced NAD (used later to form ATP), and acetyl CoA transports acetyl group to KC) |
