Step 2: Formation Of Acetyl And Coenzyme A

Question 1

Where does step 2 exactly occur?

Answer 1

In the inter membrane space of the mitochondrian.

Question 2

What happens to the Pyruvates? And what is the result?

Answer 2

1. One of the Hydrogen molecules becomes bonded to NAD, to once again becomes NADH2.
2. A CO2 structure leaves the Pyruvates and then immediately leaves the body afterwards.
3. Then the 2carbon molecule Acetyl is formed (C2H3O1)

Question 3

What happens after Acetyl is formed?

Answer 3

Coenzyme A comes along and bonds to the Acetyl

Question 4

How many ATP are produced in the formation of Acetyl (step 2)

Answer 4

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
