In tissues deriving energy anaerobically (such as rapidly exercising skeletal muscle), lactate, rather than pyruvate, serves as

the end product of glycolysis.
Which of the following statements best explains why pyruvate is converted to lactate under these circumstances?
A. The mitochondrion is more permeable to lactate than to pyruvate.
B. Lactate, but not pyruvate, serves as a substrate for gluconeogenesis.
C. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate is accompanied by the production of ATP.
D. NAD+ necessary for the glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase reaction is regenerated

Answer: Option D

pyruvate is converted to lactate when NAD+ necessary for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase reaction is regenerated in glycolysis.

Explanation:

Anaerobic glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to lactate in muscles cells when there is limited supply of oxygen.

When there is not enough oxygen in the muscle cells for oxidation of pyruvate to NADH(nicotinamide adenine dinuleotide hydrogen) produced in glycolysis, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) which is important for glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase is regenerated from NADH by reduction of pyruvate to lactate.

How are the reproductive cycles of a fungus and a pteridophyte similar?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:  Likewise in pteridophytes, species also produces haploid spores through haploid stage. In diploid stage the two spores fuse together to form a prothallus which is a diploid stage. Hence, the similarity in the reproductive cycle of fungus and a pteridophyte is that both organisms produce haploid spores and exhibit diploid and haploid stages.

The enzyme will be transported to either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria to perform the functions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which a living cell burns nutrients like glucose, fats, or even proteins to produce energy molecules namely ATP to perform its daily works. This cellular respiration, which is mainly aerobic, takes place both in cytoplasm and mitochondria.

The glycolysis part of the cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. The enzymes that take part in the glycolysis cycle reaches to cytoplasm from ribosome to perform.

But both the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport chain take place in mitochondria. Kreb's Cycle takes place in mitochondria matrix and ETC takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane. Although ETC isn't a enzymatic process, Kreb's Cycle is fully enzymatic and the enzymes reaches from ribosomes inside mitochondria by transporters.
