The mechanism by which pyruvate from cytosol is transpoed to mitochondria is?
Chloride antipo
Proton sympo
ATP dependent antipo
Facilitated unipo
The transpo of pyruvate into the mitochondria is the transpo protein pyruvate translocase. Pyruvate translocase transpos pyruvate in a sympo fashion with a proton, and hence is active, consuming energy.Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition
