What is the Calvin cycle responsible for?
It is responsible for the breakdown of pyruvate/acetylCoA into 1ATP, 4NADH, and 1FADH per cycle. It is a part of cellular respiration.
Where does the breakdown of pyruvate occur?
Cytoplasm
Glycolysis is the breakdown of what organic molecule?
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
What is the form from the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis?
Pyruvate.
What two processes in glucose breakdown are anaerobic?
During glucose breakdown, glycolysis and fermentation occur anaerobically. Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into energy and pyruvate. Fermentation uses to the pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate.

What does Decarboxylation of pyruvate produces?
decarboxylation means removal of co2 from the reaction

Is pyruvate a cell?
No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of what organic molecule?
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
Why are only two molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis when it appears that as many as a dozen could be formed?
Most of the free energy from the partial breakdown of glucose remains in pyruvate.
What is the form from the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis?
Pyruvate.
What chemical is formed by the aerobic breakdown of glucose?
The product of aerobic breakdown of glucose is pyruvate. Since this is an exergonic reaction, there is no energy required to start it off.
Where is Pyruvate is formed?
glycolysis
What are the metabolic pathways involved with making yogurt?
glycolytic pathway which explains the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate. the glucose is formed from initial breakdown of sucrose(sugar found in milk) to galactose and glucose. the pyruvate produced is then acted upon by lactic acid bacteria anaerobically to produce citric acid, hence the sour taste of yoghurt.

Is acetyle coenzyme a formed from the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
Precisely, it is called pyruvate decarboxylation. The COOH group Pyruvate is removed as CO2, and Acetyl CoA from Coenzyme A is added in an NAD+ dependent manner by the enzyme decarboxylase.
