Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first reaction of the citric acid cycle is the condensation of acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate. NADH and ATP are produced in later reactions of the cycle, but not in the first one. Glucose becoming pyruvate is the first step in glycolysis, which is a separate metabolic pathway from the citric acid cycle. "Pyruvate becomes 11ec7e98_693e_e130_bc46_296934663609_TB34225555_11" is not a valid statement or choice.
