Vedclass · Answer

(C) Pyruvate is a $3$-carbon compound $(CH_3COCOOH)$.During aerobic respiration,pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form Acetyl-CoA,releasing $1$ molecule of $CO_2$.Subsequently,the Acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle ($TCA$ cycle),where the remaining $2$ carbons are released as $CO_2$ molecules.Therefore,the complete oxidation of $1$ molecule of pyruvate results in the production of $3$ molecules of $CO_2$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ $4$ $C$ compound	$(1)$ Acetyl $CoA$
$(b)$ $2$ $C$ compound	$(2)$ Pyruvate
$(c)$ $5$ $C$ compound	$(3)$ Citric acid
$(d)$ $3$ $C$ compound	$(4)$ $\alpha$-Ketoglutaric acid
	$(5)$ Malic acid

When $1$ molecule of pyruvate is completely oxidized,how many moles of carbon dioxide are produced?
