When an organism such as a yeast lives by fermentation, it converts the pyruvate from glycolysis into a different compound, such

as alcohol. Why doesn't it secrete the pyruvate directly? Group of answer choices The conversion yields one NADH per pyruvate molecule. A buildup of pyruvate in the surrounding environment would be too toxic. The conversion is needed to regenerate the molecules needed for glycolysis. The conversion yields 32 ATP per pyruvate molecule.

Answer:

The conversion is needed to regenerate the molecules needed for glycolysis

Explanation:

Fermentation is a metabolic process by which microorganisms generate ATP by the anaerobic (without oxygen) degradation of organic nutrients. Fermentation allows to microorganisms convert carbohydrates into alcohol or acid. During glycolysis, two NAD+ molecules are reduced and glucose molecules are split into two pyruvate molecules, thereby producing two NADH molecules and two ATP molecules. During fermentation, pyruvate molecules are metabolized to different compounds because the energy stored in the pyruvate molecules is unavailable to the cell. In fermentation, NADH from glycolysis is oxidized back to NAD+ by being used to reduce pyruvate or a pyruvate derivative.

The moon's synchronous orbit around earth is the direct result of the gravitational relationship between the two, causing a ____
PSYCHO15rus [73]
The answer should be Tidal Lock (A), because this is when the event of the orbital position of an object (Earth) is matching the same rotation period as the other object (Moon). When these rotations are the same, the moon will always be facing the same direction as the Earth. I believe you made a typo because Tidal Rock is not even considered to be a term in science. It is not a Solar Tide (that isn't even concerned with the moon facing the Earth), magnetosphere isn't even related to the moon but its magnetic field, and a tidal "bulge" is the complete opposite and has the moon facing the completely opposite direction.
