Components in Aerobic Respiration Characteristics A. Pyruvic Acid Decarboxylation 1. Converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA with the production of NADH. B. Inner Membrane of Mitochondria 2. Location of the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis. C. Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (Krebs' Cycle) 3. A cyclic pathway where acetyl CoA is fully oxidized to CO2. D. Pyruvic Dehydrogenase 4. Enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decar
Options
- AA - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
- BA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
- DA - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
A - 1: Pyruvic acid decarboxylation converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA and produces NADH. B - 3: The tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs' cycle) is a cyclic pathway that fully oxidizes acetyl CoA to CO2. C - 2: The inner membrane of mitochondria is where the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis occur. D - 4: Pyruvic dehydrogenase is the enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, requiring NAD+ and Coenzyme A.
