The link reaction converts pyruvate to
Correct answer: C. Acetyl CoA
- A. Lactate
- B. Ethanol
- C. Acetyl CoA
- D. Glucose
Explanation
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA, releasing CO2 and producing NADH.

About Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. The pathway differs in oxygen availability: aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields more ATP, while anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and forms lactic acid in muscles or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
