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

Biology
1 answer:
Mars2501 [29]3 years ago

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 :)

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neutrotransmitters why would a lack of neurotransmitters c
vekshin1

Because neurones will not function properly neither will neuroreceptors if a person lacks neurotransmitters, these two parts (transmiters and receptors) all work together and depend on eachother.

Neurones are resposible for transmitting informations trought the body, and if neurotransmitters are no-existent, information may not be able to get to some body parts since neurotransmitters transmit the information.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
