Quick Question Regarding Pyruvate Decarboxylation

Does pyruvate decarboxylation take place in the cytosol and then acetyl CoA is transported into the matrix of the mitochondria or does pyruvate decarboxylation also take place in the mitochondria?

Thanks again for any help.

it occurs in the cytosol.

Pyruvate decarboxylation occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotes.
