Answer:

Option 4- Pyruvic acid is converted to Acetyl-CoA

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic molecules endowed with energy (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) are split in previous reactions. Before entering the Krebs cycle, they transform into acetyl-CoA, a molecule formed by an acetyl group (CH3CO-) and by an acyl transporter called coenzyme A.
