What the link reaction is Recapping the main stages of aerobic respiration Identifying the mitochondrial matrix as the site of the link reaction Defining the concept of oxidative decarboxylation 2. The main steps of the link reaction The decarboxylation of pyruvate and the removal of carbon dioxide The dehydrogenation of pyruvate, resulting in the oxidation of pyruvate and the formation of reduced NAD The binding of acetate to coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A Summarising the overall reactants and products of the link reaction ** CHAPTERS ** 0:19 What the link reaction is 1:35 Main steps of the link reaction ** PLAYLISTS **    • KS3 Biology      • KS3 Chemistry      • KS3 Physics      • GCSE Maths (9-1)      • GCSE Biology (9-1)      • GCSE Chemistry (9-1)      • GCSE Physics (9-1)      • A-Level Biology   #Alevel #Biology #study #revision #school #exam #AQA #OCR #Edexcel
