What is pyruvate converted to in the mitochondria of a cell?
pyruvate is con verted into ethanol and carbon dioxide
What happens immendiately after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria?
After pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria, it undergoes a series of enzymatic reactions called pyruvate decarboxylation. In this process, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle) to produce energy in the form of ATP.
What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria?
Acetyl CoA forms.
Where is pyruvate metabolized?
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
When oxygen is plentiful pyruvate from glucose is converted to?
acetyl CoA

Before Krebs cycle can proceed pyruvate must be converted into what?
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
When oxygen is plentiful pyruvate from glucose is converted to?
acetyl CoA
What Substances have a net movement into the mitochondria?
Pyruvate gets oxidised to acetyl CoA.
Acetyl-CoA is produced from?
In eukaryotic cells, acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria from molecules derived from sugars and fats.
In which organelle does aerobic cellular respiration take place?
aerobic respiration means the oxidation of nutrients using oxygen to produce energy. it is a 4 step process. step 1 The glucose is converted to pyruvate in the cytoplasm of the cell in te absence of oxygen. this process is called glycolysis. Each glucose molecule produces 2 molecules of pyruvate. 1 Glucose----> 2Pyruvate step 2 The pyruvate formed is converted to acetyl CoA in the cytoplasm. step 3 The acetyl CoA is sent to the mitochondria of the cell where it takes part in the Kreb's cycle. it occurs in the presence of O2 this acetyl CoA can easil enter the mitochondria which is the site for further reactions. step 4 the energy produced in the above steps is converted to ATP using ATP synthase enzyme. A total of 36 ATP molecules are produced. The overall reaction for aerobic respiration is Glucose------> Pyruvate-------> CO2 + H2O + 36ATP Energy
Where does acetyl CoA take place?
Acetyl-CoA is produced during the second step of aerobic cellular respiration. In the matrix of the mitochondria pyruvate decarboxylation occurs.
How carbs proteins and fats can be converted to pyruvate glucose andor acetyl CoA and get used to make ATP or stored as fat?
Acetyl CoA
What is the fate of pyruvate in mitochondrial respiration?
Pyruvate is formed from glucose during glycolysis. Should the conditions be aerobic, pyruvate will be converted into Acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA) with the help of an enzyme called "pyruvate dehydrogenase." Bi-products of this reaction include CO2 and NADH This occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. Acetyl CoA will then continue into the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle. After this, the products of the cycle (NADH and FADH2) will be involved in oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain where large amounts of ATP will be produced. This occurs in the inner layer of the mitochondria. Should there be anaerobic conditions, then animals can convert pyruvate into lactate. Or, in plants; pyruvate is converted into ethanal and then into ethanol in a process called fermentation.
