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 cells that make up muscle are specialized to do their job by having many ?
Len [333]
<span>it is Cardiac muscle tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue is an extremely specialized form of muscle tissue that has evolved to pump blood throughout the body. In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance. And because the heart maintains its own rhythm, cardiac muscle has developed the ability to quickly spread electrochemical signals so that all of the cells in the heart can contract together as a team....</span>
