After glycolysis, fate of glucose in mitochondrial matrix is

Correct answer
A
oxidation
B
reduction
C
oxidative decarboxylation
D
hydrolysis.

Solution

After glycolysis, pyruvate forms acetyl Co-A which undergoes oxidation to form $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ through Krebs' cycle in mitochondrial matrix.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
