B. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can be imported into the mitochondria, where it is oxidized. Electrons from pyruvate can enter the electron transport system to produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation The above statement is not a metabolic fate of pyruvate Yes, pyruvate will be imported to mitochondria under aerobic condition and then it is oxidized, but it is not the pyruvate which supplies electron to electrons transport system to produce ATP, but actually it is the NADH and FADH2 which supplies the electrons to the electron transport chain to oxygen and then reduced to water. The potential generated during the pumping of protons will be utilized to synthesize the ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Solution B.

1. B. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can be imported into the mitochondria, where it is
oxidized. Electrons from pyruvate can enter the electron transport system to produce ATP via
oxidative phosphorylation
The above statement is not a metabolic fate of pyruvate
Yes, pyruvate will be imported to mitochondria under aerobic condition and then it is oxidized,
but it is not the pyruvate which supplies electron to electrons transport system to produce ATP,
but actually it is the NADH and FADH2 which supplies the electrons to the electron transport
chain to oxygen and then reduced to water. The potential generated during the pumping of
protons will be utilized to synthesize the ATP during oxidative phosphorylation.
