Review 3: Pyruvate & Fatty Acid Oxidation, Citric Acid Cycle, & Glycogen Metabolism / Pyruvate Oxidation / Problem 2

Problem 2

How do cofactors like NAD+ and FAD contribute to pyruvate oxidation?

They act as substrates for acetyl CoA formation.

They facilitate electron transfer and energy production.

They inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

They are converted into ATP.
