Oxidative decarboxylation Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form acetyl-CoA and release CO$_{2}$. The enzyme is called pyruvate dehydrogenase. $\mathrm{Pyruvate}+\mathrm{CoA}+{\mathrm{NAD}}^{+}\rightarrow _{\mathrm{Pyruvate}\mathrm{dehydrogenase}}^{{\mathrm{Mg}}^{+2}}\mathrm{Acetyl}-\mathrm{CoA}+{\mathrm{CO}}_{2}+\mathrm{NADH}.{H}^{+}$ Glycolysis The process common for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This is also called EMP or Embden, Meyerhof, and Parnas pathway. The glucose is converted into 3-carbon pyruvic acid. Oxidative phosphorylation The formation of ATP in the mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation. This is accomplished through ETS. Tricarboxylic acid cycle The TCA (tricarboxylic acid cycle) starts with the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid (OAA) and water to yield citric acid. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase.

Solution

Oxidative decarboxylation	Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form acetyl-CoA and release CO $_{2}$ . The enzyme is called pyruvate dehydrogenase. $\mathrm{Pyruvate}+\mathrm{CoA}+{\mathrm{NAD}}^{+}\rightarrow _{\mathrm{Pyruvate}\mathrm{dehydrogenase}}^{{\mathrm{Mg}}^{+2}}\mathrm{Acetyl}-\mathrm{CoA}+{\mathrm{CO}}_{2}+\mathrm{NADH}.{H}^{+}$
Glycolysis	The process common for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. This is also called EMP or Embden, Meyerhof, and Parnas pathway. The glucose is converted into 3-carbon pyruvic acid.
Oxidative phosphorylation	The formation of ATP in the mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation. This is accomplished through ETS.
Tricarboxylic acid cycle	The TCA (tricarboxylic acid cycle) starts with the condensation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid (OAA) and water to yield citric acid. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase.
