Pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation; glycolysis is the EMP pathway; the TCA cycle uses citrate synthase.
Pyruvate when enters into mitochondrial matrix, it undergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase.
Glycolysis is often referred to as the EMP pathway.
Oxidative phosphorylation is a process embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria (called electron transport chain and ATP synthase).
The reaction in TCA cycle is catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase.
