Question
Chapter 7, Problem 12Q
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The reason as to why pyruvate is considered to be central to so many metabolic pathways.
Concept introduction:
In the process of glycolysis, pyruvate is produced from the glucose. Pyruvate is a three-carbon containing acid, which is a junction of several metabolic processes. Other than glucose, lactate,and alanine can also produce pyruvate.
