Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.21E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The summary equation for the conversion of glucose to lactate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The sequence of reactions that converts glucose to pyruvate is very similar in all organisms and in all kinds of cells. The fate of pyruvate is that it is used to generate energy that is variable. Three different fates of pyruvate are considered.

• Oxidation to acetyl CoA.

• Reduction to lactate

• Reduction to ethanol.
