"The PDH complex is considered to be a reaction of the citric acid cycle" is the false statement

Explanation:

The PDH complex is involved in the oxidation of piruvate, producing acetate and free CO2 (besides ATP and NADH). Concomitantly, in presence of coenzyme A, it binds the acetate molecule to form Acetyl-CoA.

Acetyl-CoA, later, will enter the Krebs cycle reacting with oxalacetate to form citric acid.
