Question

which process connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?
lactic acid formation
acetyl coa formation
electron transport
krebs cycle

Explanation:

• Glycolysis produces pyruvate.
• Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA.
• Acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle).
• Lactic acid formation is part of anaerobic respiration (not connecting glycolysis and citric acid cycle).
• Electron transport is part of oxidative phosphorylation (occurs after citric acid cycle).
• Krebs cycle is the citric acid cycle itself (not a connecting process).

Answer:

acetyl CoA formation
