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 three statements correctly describe the endoplasmic reticulum?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

I have searched everywhere, but I have not found the proposals of the question, but I will explain to you what is the endoplasmic reticulum so that you can answer it.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle located in the cytoplasm.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membrane tubules (often interconnected) scattered throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Its membrane, which alone represents more than half of the cellular membrane system, is in contact with the nuclear envelope.

The endoplasmic reticulum can be:

Granular (or rough) (RER) that is to say associated with ribosomes.

Smooth (SER).

The granular endoplasmic reticulum is the place of synthesis (in the associated ribosomes) of the proteins secreted outside the cell and of the proteins and lipids constituting the membranes of the cellular organelles. Golgi, lysosomes, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, vesicles ...). It participates in the correct folding of the proteins that have just been synthesized.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum participates in cellular metabolism, synthesizing lipids and storing calcium.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Lobsters are adapting to cooler temperatures.

Explanation:

Adaptation may be defined as the phenomena that involves the physical, physiological and chemical changes in the organisms that helps to adapt themselves in their environmental condition.

The adaptation may bring genetic changes in the next generation as well. The lobsters movement per year demonstrates that they are trying to adapt in their environment. The cooler temperatures is favorable for the growth and adaptation of Lobsters.

Thus, the answer is Lobsters are adapting to cooler temperatures.
