During pyruvate decarboxylation reaction, pyruvate is converted to _______________ compound, through a reaction called ______________ .
Pyruvate decarboxylation is an oxidative decarboxylation reaction, or an oxidation reaction where a carboxylate group is removed. This reaction converts pyruvate which was produced through glycolysis to acetyl CoA to be used in the Citric Acid Cycle.
