Answer:
Explanation:
Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.
pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD
The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.
If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme. <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
In an ecosystem, two factors are being classified which are the abiotic and the biotic factors. Both of these factors play an important role in order to balance the ecosystem and maintain the harmony of the living things therein. The environment includes the abiotic factors which are the sunlight, weather, water, air, and all other factors which are not living but contribute to the growth and development of the living ones. For example, plants cannot live without water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. The effects that humans have on the environment is both good and bad. Humans also play an important role in maintaining the environment, and they also have the capability to endanger it.
