Question

What is the original carbon energy molecule from glycolysis that enters the mitochondria

Answer 1

Pyruvate oxidation

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it's converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Coenzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADHstart text, N, A, D, H, end text is generated.
