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 :)

I will write essay, but need the 3 reasons why.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Some reasons that people give for smoking:
> they believe it reduces stress and anxiety ( scientific studies show this isn't factual and the chemicals within smoking products is only made appealing and or distracting to make the user believe so. It actually heightens stress levels and lowers health levels)
> this sounds cliche but, teens often think its cool or get peer pressured into it. They find themselves wanting to try harmful substances and get addicted. ( in one study there were d r u g s found in smoking products aimed to get the attention of children and young adults. It's all a marketing ploy for business men and women to collect money as you slowly grow more and more breathless)
> lastly, "it's not that bad for you" often, markets and cig stores tell potential buyers its not as bad as other things. Some say its not harmful at all.( Lung disease,gum disease,heart failure,etc. all disprove this. Each year about 480,000 people die from the affects of smoking)
