Use the following information to answer the questions below. In the presence of oxygen,the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle.First,however,the pyruvate (1)loses a carbon,which is given off as a molecule of CO₂,(2)is oxidized to form a two-carbon compound called acetate,and (3)is bonded to coenzyme A. -These three steps result in the formation of
A)acetyl CoA, O₂, and ATP. B)acetyl CoA, FADH₂, and CO₂. C)acetyl CoA, FAD, H₂, and CO₂. D)acetyl CoA, NADH, H⁺, and CO₂. E)acetyl CoA, NAD⁺, ATP, and CO₂.
