How many molecules of carbon dioxide are released from one pyruvic acid molecule being oxidized?
In glycolysis, a 6 carbon sugar (glucose) is oxidized to produce 2 three carbon intermediates (pyruvate).
What happens to pyruvate produced when very little oxygen is available?
Pyruvate is the result of glycolysis, the degradation of a molecule of glucose. In aerobic conditions (with O2 present), pyruvate is oxidized to H2O and CO2 via the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to produce energy (ATP). In anaerobic conditions (low levels of O2), pyruvate metabolism goes in two directions: in yeasts, an alcoholic fermentation takes place (with the production of two CO2 molecules + two molecules of ethanol); while in muscle, homolactic fermentation occurs (with the result of 2 molecules of lactate).
The breakdown of pyruvate in the Krebs cycle result in the release of?
NO. You release 2 CO2 from each turn on the kreb cycle. You have to go around the cycle twice in order to decarboxylate 1 glucose molecule (you go around twice because you have 2 pyruvate molecules in one glucose, meaning one full turn of the kreb cycle per pyruvate molecule)
What is produced during glycolysis?
The process of glycolysis converts 2 ATP molecules and 1 Glucose molecule into 2 Pyruvate molecules (or pyruvic acid, a 3 carbon molecule) and 4 ATP molecules. The net gain of ATP is 2, since 2 ATP have already been invested in the process.
After one glucose molecule goes through glycolysis how many net ATP are produced?
Two, net.
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are released from one pyruvic acid molecule being oxidized?
In glycolysis, a 6 carbon sugar (glucose) is oxidized to produce 2 three carbon intermediates (pyruvate).
In glycolysis for each molecule of glucose oxidized to pyruvate?
2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced.
A product of glycolysis is?
2 x 3 carbon pyruvate molecules. 4 ATP molecules are also produced, via substrate level phosphorylation.
How many co2 molecules are generated from each pyruvate that enter the mitochondrion?
In the decarboxylation of Pyruvate to form Acetyl CoA, one Carbon atom is lost as co2. Acetyl CoA can then be used in the citric acid cycle in which another two co2 molecules are produced. It is important to note however, that neither Pyruvate nor Acetyl CoA will necessarily follow this pathway, since they are also required for various other processes.
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
What is the end result of glycolysis that eventually feeds into the Krebs cycle?
A. Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
What are the Products of the Krebs cycle per molecule of pyruvate?
For one molecule of Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), 3 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.Also, the change from pyruvate to acetyl CoA produces one NADH and one carbon dioxide molecule; CoA is recycled in and out of the cycle.
What molecule is split during glycolysis?
at the end of glycolysis, there is 2 G3P molecules. there is also 2 CO2, 2ATP, 2 NADH
How many pyruvates would 3 molecules of glucose produce?
Each glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules so 3 glucose will make 3*2=6 pyruvate molecules.

What is the Krebs cyle?
noun(1) A cycle of reactions catalyzed by enzymes in which pyruvate derived from nutrients and converted to Acetyl Coenzyme A is completely oxidized and broken down into carbon dioxide and water to produce high-energy phosphate compounds, which are the source of cellular energy.(2) One of the major metabolic pathways of cellular respiration, and involves a cyclic series of enzymatic reactions by which pyruvate converted into Acetyl Coenzyme A is completely oxidized to CO2 and hydrogen is removed from the carbon molecules, transferring the hydrogen atoms and electrons to electron-carrier molecules (e.g. NADH and FADH2) as well as the metabolic energy to high energy bonds (e.g. ATP).:D Hope that helps!
