Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, needed for the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA is located in __________
- A matrix of mitochondria
- B intermembrane space of mitochondria
- C grana of chloroplast
- D cytoplasm
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) matrix of mitochondria
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) matrix of mitochondria,
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, essential for converting pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA, is located in the matrix of mitochondria. This complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, linking glycolysis to the Kreb's cycle.,
