What are the three metabolic destiny of pyruvate after glycolysis explain their products and type of reaction?
Added by Diego B.
Step 1
**Aerobic Respiration (Oxidative Decarboxylation):** In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA through the process of oxidative decarboxylation. This reaction is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and results in the production Show more…
