is pyruvate converted to acetyl coa in the mitochondrial matrix
Mitochondrial matrix Following glycolysis, the citric acid cycle is activated by the production of acetyl-CoA. The oxidation of pyruvate by Pyruvate dehydrogenase in the matrix produces CO2, acetyl-CoA, and NADH. Beta oxidation of fatty acids serves as an alternate catabolic pathway that produces acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2.[1] The production of acetyl-CoA begins the citric acid cycle while the co-enzymes produced are used in the electron transport chain.[10]
Small intestine Food from the stomach is allowed into the duodenum through the pylorus by a muscle called the pyloric sphincter.
