How is glycolosis different from the breakdown of pyruvic acid?

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to give pyruvic acid and energy. Pyruvic acid is then used for different reactions, the most important one being Kreb's cycle.

What is the end product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
The end product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid occur in acetyl-CoA. The breakdown of pyruvic acid related tot he citric acid cycle is the first thing added to citric acid cycle.
The breakdown of pyruvic acid occur?
in mitochondrion
How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citric acid cycle-?
The breakdown of pyruvic acid is usually accomplished by a series of reactions. Citric acid is usually the 1st compounds formed by these reactions.
Production of two net ATPs per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is?
Glycolosis
What is the breakdown product of glucose that diffused into the mitochondria matrix for further breakdown?
Pyruvic acid
What is the end of product of the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
Acetyl-Coa
What process of ATP production begins with the breakdown of pyruvic acid?
aerobic
The complete breakdown of one molecule of pyruvic acid is called what?
the krebs cycle
The brakdown product of glucose that diffuses into the mitochondrial matrix for further breakdown is?
pyruvic acid.
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.
Is the procces of splitting a glucose molecule into 2 pyruvic acid molecules?
The anaerobic process of splitting glucose to form pyruvic acid is called glycolysis. The citric acid cycle is a series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and ends with the same 6 carbon compounds.
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.
