Answer: protein structure

Explanation:

In Sickle-cell anemia, the gene sequence of hemoglobin is changed in its sixth position due to the substitution of glutamate with valine.

So, since glutamate, an amino acid soluble in water due to its hydrophilic side chain is substituted with valine, an amino acid that has a hydrophobic side chain insoluble in water or bloodstream; the resulting hemoglobin protein is altered in structure (sickle shaped) and unable to bind and transport oxygen efficiently to the various body parts.

Why is pyruvic acid never the end product of fermentation
Igoryamba

Answer:

Pyruvic acid is not the end product of fermentation because in fermentation the pyruvic acid is converted into alcohol/lactic acid and carbon dioxide. There are two types of fermentation alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is converted into ethanol and CO2 for example in yeast and in lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is converted into lactic acid and CO2 for example in animals muscles.

Therefore in fermentation pyruvic acid is not the end product of fermentation. In fermentation 2 ATP is produced.
