In the Link Reaction, each pyruvate molecule loses electrons, hydrogen ions, and a carbon, forming an energy-rich molecule of
Acetyl CoA
Citrate
Oxaloacetate
Malate
The CO2 that is produced immediately before the Krebs cycle comes from
the removal of a C atom from glucose
the addition of a C atom to glucose
the removal of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms from a pyruvate
the addition of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms to a pyruvate
The link reaction takes place in the
Cytoplasm
Cristae
Matrix
D722
The final products of the link reaction are:
1 ATP, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH
1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH, 1 CO2
1 Pyruvate, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH, 1 CO2
1 ATP, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NAD
