The step in the glycolytic pathway where NADH + H+ is formed from NAD+ is when:
1. fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL)
2. 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPGA)
3. BPGA is converted to 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA)
4. PEP is converted to pyruvic acid

Pyruvate, which is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of carbohydrates in the cytosol:
1. undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic kinase.
2. undergoes reduction in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase.
3. undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase.
4. undergoes oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic decarboxylase.
