Aerobic Respiration

Question

Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires :

Moderate

A

Magnesium
B

Calcium
C

Iron
D

Cobalt

Solution

During link reaction pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl CoA with the help of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. For this conversion
pyruvate dehydrogenase requires magnesium, CoA, ${NAD}^{+}$ etc.
$Pyruvic acid + CoA + {NAD}^{+} \to_{Pyruvate dehydrogenase}^{{Mg}^{2 +}} Acetyl CoA + {CO}_{2} + NADH + H^{+}$
