Because we converted glucose to pyruvic acid via glycolysis, we now have to alter pyruvic acid so that it can become useful in the mitochondria and enter the kreb's (citric acid) cycle. We do this by removing one of the Carbon's from Pyruvic Acid (which is a 3 Carbon molecule).

In the transisition reaction an enzyme called coenzyme A removes one of the carbon's from pyruvic acid and the removed carbon attaches to an oxygen molecule to leave the cell as CO2. Also during this process we donate to electrons via hydrogen ions to NAD which then forms NADH+H. The result is Aceytal-CoA a 2 carbon molecule that is now ready to enter kreb's (citric acid) cycle.

** KEEP IN MIND, because we created two pyruvic acid molecules via glycolysis, we do the "transition reaction" twice - once for each molecule. In the end we get a TOTAL net yield of 2 NADH+H molecules, 2 CO2 molecules, and 2 Aceytal-CoA molecules.

I hope this helps! Best of Luck!

Most of the transition is end with the after the some situations. More of this situation is given on this link- http://www.usignp.com/2012/12/www-coa-transition-com-enter-certificate-authenticity-sweepstakes-card.html

In spite of all unobviosity,the end point is the complete change in characters and situations.
