Where in cell is pyruvate broken down?
cytoplasm
What is the useful product of glycolysis for the cell?
pyruvate
If a cell is lacking in oxaloacetate, which of the following will occur?
There will be a buildup of pyruvate in the cell
Where in the cell is pyruvate broken down?
Pyruvate oxidation occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Where is pyruvate dehydrogenase complex located in prokaryotes?
in cyptoplasm of the prokaryotic cell
What is pyruvate converted to in the mitochondria of a cell?
pyruvate is con verted into ethanol and carbon dioxide
What goes into the pyruvate cell?
It is changed into Acetyl CoA, which is then used in the citric acid cycle (aka Krebs Cycle).
Where is fatty acid found in a cell?
smooth endoplasmic reticula
Where is glucose converted into pyruvate in the cell?
The cytoplasm
Where does pyruvate processing occur?
Pyruvate processing occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria
Which part of cellualar respiration breaks down glucose into pyruvate?
The process of breaking down starch to pyruvate is glycolysis. This reaction takes place in one of the cell organelles - mitochondria.
How did the glucose molecule get broken down and transported to a cell?
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
