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

Biology

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 :)

TEA [102]

It has been shown that genetic has a huge influence on the development of autism spectrum disorder and that autism in identical twins was 13 times that of the general population. This suggest that environmental factors in the womb are the major factors that contribute.

Which statements is not true about prokaryotes?
irina [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. prokaryotes store their genetic information in a nucleus

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are organisms that do not have a true nucleus. A true nucleus is an organelle that is membrane-bound and contains the cell's genetic material inside it.

In prokaryotes nucleus is not present do its genetic material is spread in the cytoplasm of the cell. Bacteria and archaea are considered to come under the prokaryotes group because they do not have a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelle.

Eukaryotes are the organisms that have membrane-bound nucleus and they store their genetic information in the nucleus. Therefore the correct answer is b. prokaryotes store their genetic information in a nucleus.
