Question
Link enzyme in cellular respiration which catalyzes the substrate produced during glycolysis, and funnels it into the Kreb's cycle is ______.
Options:
A .  Citrate synthetase
B .  Pyruvate dehydrogenase
C .  Isocitrate dehydrogenase
D .  Succinyl thiokinase
Answer: Option B
:
B
Pyruvic acid synthesized in glycolysis must enter inside the mitochondria, where oxidative decarboxylation occurs in the presence of NAD+and coenzyme-A. This results in the formation of acetyl CoA which can enter the Kreb's cycle. This reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase.
