In acetyl coa formation, the carbon-containing compound from glycolysis is oxidized to produce acetyl coa. from the following compounds involved in cellular respiration, choose those that are the net inputs and net outputs of acetyl coa formation.

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is important to recall that acetyl-CoA is produced either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate derived from glycolysis, which is carried out into the mitochondrial matrix, by cause of the oxidation of high-order fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of very specific amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the citric acid cycle where it is oxidized in the light of energy production.

In this manner, during such processes, there are some net inputs and outputs, therefore, they are sorted as show below, considering there some of them not classified neither as input nor output:

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Best regards.
