KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 12. Respiration in Plants
In the following reaction, identify X and Y respectively.
- A Water, Acetyl CoA
- B Acetyl CoA, Pyruvate dehyrogenase
- C Pyruvate dehydrogenase, Acetyl CoA
- D Pyruvate dehydrogenase, Oxaloacetic acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Pyruvate dehydrogenase, Acetyl CoA
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Pyruvate dehydrogenase, Acetyl CoA,
Pyruvate which is produced in the cytosol during glycolysis is transported to mitochondria for further oxidation. It is imported by a transport protein along with \(H ^{+}\). Acetyl CoA is formed from pyruvate by its oxidative decarboxylation by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, which is a large multi-enzyme complex that catalyses 5 reactions.
