Ans: The reaction is drawn on the paper enclosed below:

As it is not specified in the question that which carbon atom in pyruvate is radioactive so i'm taking all the 3 carbons as radioactive one:

Sorry for the cuts and bad handwriting.

Acetyl coA is made from pyruvate in the ["mitochondrial matrix" or "cytoplasm"] by ["pyruvate dehydrogenase" or "succinate dehydrogenase"] complex. In this process, the acetyl group is moved between enzymes within the complex by the ["lipoamide" or "TPP"]. The ["dihydrolipoyl transacetylase" or "pyruvate dehydrogenase component"] is the enzyme in which acetyl coA is actually formed. The ["FADH2" or "lipoamide"] in the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase donates two electrons to NADH, which then goes on to the electron transport chain.

Propionyl-CoA is found within mammalian cells, arising from at least three sources. What are the sources? Elaborate. In 3 enzyme catalyzed steps, the propionyl-CoA is ultimately converted to succinyl-CoA, a process that requires bicarbonate. Imagine that you have an in vitro set-up of 13C-labelled propionyl-CoA (label on the middle C of propionyl), unlabelled bicarbonate, and the enzymes. By showing the three relevant equations, indicate the location of the 13C-label in each step and in the product succinyl-CoA.   It is NOT...
