no, pyruvate is a product of the EM, ED and pentose phosphate pathways. these utilise glucose with the end product of pyruvate. this can then have many fates. it can enter the Krebs cycle and be used to generate energy and be used for biosynthesis or it can be fermented into ethanol or lactic acid in anaerobic conditions.

∙ 15y agoNo, they do not. Metabolism of pyruvate is not the same for all microorganisms. An assortment of end products define their different fermentative capabilities.

Glycolysis is a process found in?
Answer D - the initial breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
How many turns can a single glucose molecule drive the Krebs cycle?
A single glucose molecule is able to drive the Krebs cycle 2 times. The Krebs Cycle is the series of chemical reactions that take place to provide all aerobic organisms with the ability to make energy.
What microorganisms kill people?
That applies to microorganisms of a wide variety of types: bacteria, viruses, prions, protists, fungi, and perhaps a few more. Note that not all bacteria are harmful to people; the same applies to the other categories.
Do microorganisms need nutrients?
yes, microorganisms need nutrients for their growth. That nutrients also used for their own metabolisms. but all the microorganism's doesn't take same type of nutrient. Based on the categories and metabolisms it require different/ varies nutrients.
Are all microorganisms decomposers?
No,all are not decomposers.There are producers and consumers too.
What is the difference between pyruvic acid butyric acid and acetic acid?
One way that pyruvic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid are different is that their molecular masses are all different. They all also have different molecular formulas.
How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citirc acid cycle?
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
What do all acids end with?
I belive it is -ate. Lactic Acid -- Lactate Pyruvic Acid - Pyruvate Carbonic Acid -- Carbonate By the way, I am by no means an expert, I am still a student. I am learning about cellular respiration and fermentation which has lactic acid and pyruvic acid in it. And both can also be called with lactate and pyruvate. My textbook does so and my teacher subtly said this was true. I don't know yet because we have a graded lab on it, so afterwards she will be able to tell us.
An anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATP per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is?
Glycolysis is an ATP-generating metabolism that takes place in almost all living cells. It refers to the process of breaking down glucose or other sugars and converting them into pyruvic acid.
What is one good waste made by microorganisms?
Im not really all that sure but I have reason to belive either acetic acid in wine or yeast in bread is made up of microorganisms.
What is a product in which all the factors are the same?
In business factors that are all the same are called a pyruvate. A pyruvate are microorganisms of the same product that are produced.
What is the benefit of having hydrochloric acid in your stomach?
Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH of the stomach fluids to 1.5-2. At such a low pH, most microorganisms are unable to survive. So, when we ingest microorganisms with our food, they are killed by the acidic conditions in our stomach. That is why, people don't fall sick all the time.
Is acid the same thing as rainwater?
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
Glycolysis is a process found in?
Answer D - the initial breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
Does microorganisms mean the same as germs?
Yes, and so does "microbes", and microscopic organisms. Answer Usually the word germ carries a negative connotation (thus, usually the disease causing Pathogenic microorganisms are referred to as germs). remember, not all microorganisms are bad. In fact some are quite good. However, in some scientific circles, all microorganisms whether good or bad are germs.
How many turns can a single glucose molecule drive the Krebs cycle?
A single glucose molecule is able to drive the Krebs cycle 2 times. The Krebs Cycle is the series of chemical reactions that take place to provide all aerobic organisms with the ability to make energy.
Does all microorganisms unicellular?
no
