What else can I help you with?
True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?
This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.
When o2 is not present to which compound is pyruvic acid converted?
In the absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid through a process called lactic acid fermentation. This process helps regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue in the absence of oxygen.
Is this true or false The pyruvic acid produced in electrolysis enters the chloroplasts if the oxygen is present in a cell?
It is false that if oxygen is present in a cell, pyruvic acid in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria if oxygen is present in a cell.
What happen to the carbon dioxide produced in breaking down pyruvic acid?
it is released in the atmosphere
When low oxygen levels occur during exercise and glucose is converted into what stable end products?
pyruvic acid
True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?
This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.
What is the pyruvic acid converted during fermentation in yeast?
Dumb, stupid
What acid is produced in glycoolysis when glucose is spilt?
Pyruvic acid, also called pyruvate, is produced during glycolysis when the glucose molecule is split.
What happens to pyruvic acid after there is no oxygen?
If oxygen is present it is converted to Acetyl-CoA and enters citric acid cycle If oxygen is not present is will become lactic acid and /or ethanol
In which step are ATP molecules produced?
The Two molecules of pyruvic acid produced in ATP molecules
Lactic acid is produced as a result of the chemical reduction of?
pyruvic acid
The first stage of cellular resperation is?
Glycolysis, in which glucose molecule is converted into pyruvic acid (pyruvate).
Why is excess pyruvic acid produced during prolonged strenuous exercise?
Excess pyruvic acid is produced during prolonged strenuous exercise because the body relies more heavily on anaerobic respiration due to the insufficient supply of oxygen to meet energy demands. This causes an accumulation of pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, which is then converted to lactic acid in order to regenerate NAD+ for continued ATP production.
The pyruvic acid that accumulates as a result of glycolysis can be converted to?
The pyruvic acid that accumulates as a result of glycolysis can be converted to acetyl-CoA through the process of pyruvate decarboxylation. Acetyl-CoA can then enter the citric acid cycle to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the function of pyruvic acid?
Pyruvic acid plays a critical role in cellular respiration by being a key intermediate in the breakdown of glucose to produce energy. It can be further converted into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to generate ATP. Additionally, pyruvic acid can also be converted into other molecules like amino acids and fatty acids for various cellular functions.
What three carbon compound is the most common end product of glycolysis?
Pyruvate is the most common end product of glycolysis.
Can pyruvic acid use in the Krebs cycle?
The pyruvic acid that is produced by glycolysis is used as the initial input for the Krebs Cycle (also called citric acid cycle). In the initial step of the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation. This continues a series of chemical reactions leading to the production of 2 ATP molecules.
