  • This how molecules from glycolysis are transported to the matrix of the mitochondria for the Krebs cycle
    • Pyruvate is oxidised to acetate, this causes NAD to form NADH
    • Acetate combines with co-enzyme A (CoA) to form acetyl CoA
  • Pyruvate + NAD + CoA -> acetyl CoA + recduced NAD + CO2
