∙ 9y agopyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
Pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which is a critical step in aerobic respiration.
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
MITOCHONDRIA More specifically, the mitochondrial matrix.

pyruvic acid.
Pyruvic acid
Glycolysis (glycos, sugar + lysis, splitting) A glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid molecules are then absorbed by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, a CO2 molecule is removed from each of the acid molecules. What is left of the pyruvic acid then enters the Krebs cycle.
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
The Krebs cycle, it takes the pyruvic acid made in the first process glycolysis to make carbon dioxide and released electrons. It occurs inside the mitochondria matrix.
In the mitochondrial matrix, pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl-CoA during the process of pyruvate oxidation. This conversion involves the removal of a carbon dioxide molecule and the generation of a molecule of NADH. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle to generate more NADH, FADH2, and ATP.
It take place in two places. In the matrix and inner membrane.
The preparatory reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. It is a key step in cellular respiration where pyruvate from glycolysis is converted into acetyl CoA before entering the citric acid cycle.
The products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide. The reactants are acetyl-CoA, NAD+, FAD, and ADP. The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells.

i havnt heard any ideas about matrix 4 and i usually what new movies are comin out before its on commercial
Before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration, glucose is broken down through glycolysis to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate is then converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This process generates NADH and CO2 as byproducts.
