Why is pyruvate imported from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrial matrix?

Biology
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

So that oxidation of pyruvate can take place in mitochondria.

Explanation:

Pyruvates is produced in the glycolysis process which occurs in the cytoplasm. So pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell. Pyruvate is produced by partial oxidation of glucose and to be fully oxidized it has to enter in the mitochondria.

So after entering the mitochondria the pyruvate first converts into acetyl CoA than this acetyl CoA enters in the citric acid cycle and fully oxidized into CO2. This oxidation generated NADP and FADH2 which provide reducing power during oxidative phosphorylation.

lukranit [14]
<h2>PNS and SNS</h2>

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous  system (PNS)  

  • In the event that the blood pressure is increased because of any explanation, it is detected by the baroreceptor system
  • The baroreceptor reflex invigorates is the part of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • The PSNS causes reflation of veins, decreasing total peripheral resistance. It also decrease the heart rate

Sympathetic nervous system  (SNS)  

  • Heart rate and blood volume are regulated  by the interrelated activities of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
  • The SNS is improperly dynamic in obesity and <em>hypertension</em> and plays a causal or permissive role in all types of chronic hypertension

Compare and contrast the role of secretory vesicles, the lysosome, and the peroxisome.
Daniel [21]

Lysosomes ( common in animal cell but rare in plant cells) contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion in white blood cells that eat bacteria) lysosomes contents are carefully released Into the cytoplasm can also cause cell death.  

Peroxisomes: this organelle is responsible for protecting the cell form its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide. As an example, white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria .The oxidative enzymes in peroxisomes break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Secretory vesicles: cell secretions –e.g, hormones, neurotransmitters, are packaged in secretory vesicles at the Golgi apparatus. The secretory vesicles are then transported to the cell surface for releases.
