Lesson 3 : Stage 3: Link Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
What are products of Link reaction?
A
1 x CO2 =released as waste
1x red NAD= goes to ETC
1x acetyl coA= Goes into the Krebs cycle
2
Q
What happens in link reaction ?
A
Removal of CO2 and H+ from pyruvate to produce acetate which combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A- this then enters Krebs cycle
3
Q

A
Twice
4
