Answer:

a. Acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

Pyruvate is decarboxylated in the matrix of mitochondria and loses its carbon as CO2. This decarboxylation is accompanied by its oxidation as well. This process of oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is catalyzed by an enzyme complex. It is called the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex. NAD+ accepts the released electrons and pyruvate is converted into energy-rich acetyl CoA which in turn enters into the Kreb's cycle.

It is very difficult to use it to determine the anatomical structure.

Explanation:

Dichotomous key is an important method that is use in biology to identify organisms by separating or dividing the organisms into two groups. It is a tool created by scientists to help them identify organisms or objects. Once the organisms are group into two, more information is revealed more individually.
