What else can I help you with?
Where is pyruvate metabolized?
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
What is the exact location of pyruvate oxidation in the mitochondrion?
Pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which is a critical step in aerobic respiration.
How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citirc acid cycle?
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
Where does he Krebs cycle occur?
MITOCHONDRIA More specifically, the mitochondrial matrix.
What is the middle of the mitochondrion called?
mitochondrial matrix
The brakdown product of glucose that diffuses into the mitochondrial matrix for further breakdown is?
pyruvic acid.
What is the breakdown product of glucose that diffused into the mitochondria matrix for further breakdown?
Pyruvic acid
What does glycolysis produces?
Glycolysis (glycos, sugar + lysis, splitting) A glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid molecules are then absorbed by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, a CO2 molecule is removed from each of the acid molecules. What is left of the pyruvic acid then enters the Krebs cycle.
Where is pyruvate metabolized?
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
What is the Second step of respiration?
The Krebs cycle, it takes the pyruvic acid made in the first process glycolysis to make carbon dioxide and released electrons. It occurs inside the mitochondria matrix.
What happen to pyruvic acid molecule in the mitochondrial matrix?
Pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH) is an organic acid. It is also a ketone, as well as being the simplest alpha-keto acid. The carboxylate (COOH) ion (anion) of pyruvic acid, CH3COCOO-, is known as pyruvate, and is a key intersection in several metabolic pathways. It can be made from glucose through glycolysis, supplies energy to living cells in the citric acid cycle, and can also be converted to carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, to fatty acids or energy through acetyl-CoA, to the amino acid alanine and to ethanol.
What is the site in mitochondria where food is converted to energy?
It take place in two places. In the matrix and inner membrane.
Where does the preparatory reaction take place within the cell?
The preparatory reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. It is a key step in cellular respiration where pyruvate from glycolysis is converted into acetyl CoA before entering the citric acid cycle.
Where are the products and reactants of the Krebs Cycle and where does it take place?
The products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide. The reactants are acetyl-CoA, NAD+, FAD, and ADP. The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells.
What is the exact location of pyruvate oxidation in the mitochondrion?
Pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which is a critical step in aerobic respiration.
Is there going to be a Matrix 4?
i havnt heard any ideas about matrix 4 and i usually what new movies are comin out before its on commercial
What happen before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration?
Before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration, glucose is broken down through glycolysis to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate is then converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This process generates NADH and CO2 as byproducts.
