Which of the following is not produced during the reactions of acetyl-CoA formation?
A
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
B
NADH
C
ATP
D
Acetyl-CoA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of acetyl-CoA formation, which occurs during the transition from glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. This involves the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA.
Recognize that during this conversion, pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation. This means that pyruvate loses a carbon atom in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Identify that NAD+ is reduced to NADH during this reaction. This is a key step where electrons are transferred to NAD+, forming NADH.
Note that acetyl-CoA is the product of this reaction, formed when the remaining two-carbon fragment from pyruvate is attached to coenzyme A.
Understand that ATP is not produced during the formation of acetyl-CoA. The reaction primarily involves the production of CO2, NADH, and acetyl-CoA, but not ATP.
