Concept explainers
To determine: The four possible
Concept introduction: Pyruvate molecule is central to the metabolic pathways. It has several fates in different reactions. It can undergo reduction, transamination, oxidative decarboxylation and carboxylation/decarboxylation.
To determine: The type of reaction that occurs in four possible metabolic fates for pyruvate in a mammalian cell.
Concept introduction: Pyruvate molecule is central to the metabolic pathways. It has several fates in different reactions. It can undergo reduction, transamination, oxidative decarboxylation and carboxylation/decarboxylation.
To determine: The additional reaction that occurs in yeast.
Concept introduction: The end product of glycolysis under aerobic conditions is pyruvate. However, under anaerobic conditions, it can be converted into lactate or ethanol. Pyruvate can undergo reduction, transamination, oxidative decarboxylation, and carboxylation/decarboxylation.
