Citric acid cycle Pyruvate preparation
{"Image DocumentName": "Citric acid cycle Pyruvate preparation", "Image ImageDescription": "When carbon dioxide is removed from pyruvate to make acetate, extra high energy electrons are produced. NAD+ captures these electrons and attracts H+ to balance the charge, forming a molecule of NADH. In addition to needing to regenerate NAD+, cells also have problems with controlling the movement of acetate molecules. Acetate molecules are small enough to diffuse away or evaporate (evaporating acetate molecules are what give vinegar its distinctive smell). To prevent this, cells covalently bond acetate molecules to a large carrier, called coenzyme A, making a complex is called acetyl-CoA.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
