The [[Citric Acid Cycle]] (tricarboxylic acid cycle) is a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions which are critical in cellular respiration. Under oxidative conditions, pyruvate continues to be metabolized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In this cycle, Acetyl-CoA, a byproduct of [[glycolysis]], along with various cofactors, are broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of GTP and NADH. <span class="bg-pink"> | The [[Citric Acid Cycle]] (tricarboxylic acid cycle) is a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions which are critical in cellular respiration.

'''Pyruvate decarboxylation or pyruvate oxidation''', also known as the link reaction (or oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate), is the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA by the enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (see [[Pyruvate dehydrogenase]]). | '''Pyruvate decarboxylation or pyruvate oxidation''', also known as the link reaction (or oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate), is the conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA by the enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (see [[Pyruvate dehydrogenase]]). | ||
