TestHub · Accepted Answer

In the link reaction pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A also producing reduced coenzyme NADPH + $H^{+}$ and carbon dioxide in the presence of enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. In the Kreb's cycle, carbon dioxide is evolved at two points:
a. During the conversion of isocitric acid to oxalosuccinic acid.
b. During the conversion of alpha-ketoglutaric acid to succinyl co-A
