What happens to pyruvate molecules formed in glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?

Biology
1 answer:
Mars2501 [29]3 years ago
6 0
Absence of oxygen means anaerobic respiration ; which has 2 different pathways.

First Pathway ; Alcoholic fermentation which takes place in yeast.

Pyruvate is decarboxylated into ethanal releasing co2 as waste product.
Ethanal is toxic , so its reduced by help of NADH to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme , and Free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

2) The second pathway is Lactic fermentation which takes place in mammalian muscles.

Pyruvate accepts hydrogen and is converted to lactate by the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase , again free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

Hope I made it clear enough :)

Which correctly lists the three gases that are part of Earth’s cycles in both the atmosphere and biosphere? radon, carbon monoxi
serg [7]

The three gases that are part of Earth’s cycles in both the atmosphere and biosphere are:

  • oxygen
  • - nitrogen
  • - carbon dioxide

<h3>Explain your answer?</h3>

The oxygen,  nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are the three gasses that are constantly moving through the atmosphere and biosphere in their own respective cycles.

The oxygen is used by the animals for breathing, but it is also released as a byproduct by the producers. The nitrogen is used as a food source for the producers, as well as the carbon dioxide which is crucial for the process of photosynthesis.

Thus, Part of them is released through decomposition, part by releasing them in the atmosphere or in the soil.
