Explanation Under anaerobic conditions, the oxidation of pyruvate gives lactate. This occurs due to lack of oxygen in the muscles. The enzyme that is involved in this process is lactate dehydrogenase. In citric acid cycle, the starting source is acetyl CoA. In this process of oxidation of pyruvate, no acetyl CoA is present. Therefore, the rate of pyruvate oxidation by the citric acid cycle under anaerobic conditions decreases...

Chapter 23, Problem 23.65E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on rate of pyruvate oxidation by the citric acid cycle under anaerobic conditions is to be stated. The effect on rate of glycolysis under anaerobic conditions is to be stated. The changes in rates and the enzymes affected in each of the two processes are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecule which helps in the migration of energy produced during the breakdown of food to the other cells is known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP molecule. ATP contains adenine as nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups.
