Question

question 2 (1 point)
fadh₂ is produced in pyruvate oxidation.
true
false

Explanation:

Pyruvate oxidation (the transition reaction) converts pyruvate to acetyl - CoA. In this process, $NADH$ is produced (from $NAD^+$), but $FADH_2$ is not produced here. $FADH_2$ is mainly produced in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) during the oxidation of succinate. So the statement that $FADH_2$ is produced in pyruvate oxidation is false.

Answer:

False
