During 2 preinitiation cycles for TCA Two AcetylSCoA 2C each

During 2 pre-initiation cycles for TCA: Two Acetyl-S-CoA (2C each) molecule are made from pyruvate, and 2C of pyruvate are converted to carbon dioxide, so: a. pyruvate reduction takes place   b. net energy is consumed   c. the utilization of one glucose molecule is involved d. oxygen is produced e. none of the above. Which answer is correct and WHY?

Solution

e none of the above,

here oxidation takes place , CO2 is released, heat energy is released for the reaction of

pyruvate to actyl coenzyme A.
