5.Discuss the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and its role in carbohydrate metabolism. 

answers:

pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a complex of three enzymes that converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by a process called pyruvate decarboxylation. Acetyl-CoA may then be used in the citric acid cycle to carry out cellular respiration, and this complex links the glycolysis metabolic pathway to the citric acid cycle.
