MCQ on Link Reaction (Pyruvate Decarboxylation)

The link reaction, or pyruvate decarboxylation, is the process where pyruvate from glycolysis is converted into acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria. Pyruvate loses a carbon dioxide molecule, and NAD+ is reduced to NADH. This reaction connects glycolysis to the Krebs cycle. This is an MCQ on Link Reaction of Respiration or Pyruvate Decarboxylation Reaction in the cells.
