Identify the incorrect statement

Easy

A

In alcohol fermentation, acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol.
B

Pyruvate enters the mitochondrion for further oxidation in aerobic respiration of eukaryotes.
C

Only decarboxylation takes place during the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl co.A in aerobic respiration.
D

Two molecules of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA.

Solution

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is used for the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl coA
Pyruvate + NAD+ + CoA → acetyl-CoA + NADH + H⁺ + CO₂
