Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transfer of hydrogen atoms to NAD+ during the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is a redox reaction, as electrons are transferred from one molecule (pyruvate) to another (NAD+). Specifically, this is a reduction reaction, as NAD+ is being reduced to NADH. None of the other answer choices accurately describe this process.
