Correct answer: D. Pyruvate dehydrogenase
- A. Lactate dehydrogenase
- B. Pyruvate kinase
- C. Citrate synthase
- D. Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Explanation
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex converts glycolytic pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle. Lactate dehydrogenase diverts pyruvate to lactate, while pyruvate kinase acts earlier within glycolysis.
