Pyruvate is actually a salt, ester or anion of pyruvic acid, but the name pyruvate is often used for pyruvic acid.

Do all microorganisms use pyruvic acid in the same way?

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.


What are the reactants in animal fermentation?

Pyruvate and NADH because of the different strains and ways of metabolic , the products generated by different sorts are not same in which lactic acid fermentation is divided into 3 types ,the same type of lactic acid fermentation ,abnormal fermentation of lactic acid and bifidobecterium fermentation


Distinguish between the products of the two types of fermentation discussed in this section?

There are two types of fermentation ususally studied in Biology: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis. In alcoholic fermentation, the major products are alcohol and carbon dioxide. In lactic acid fermentation, the major product is lactic acid. For both types of fermentation, there is a side product: NAD+ which is recycled back to glycolysis so that small amounts of ATP can continue to be produced in the absence of oxygen. Im a beast


What are the products of alcholic fermentation?

Alcohol fermentation is done by yeast and some kinds of bacteria. These microorganisms convert sugars in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell. Humans have long taken advantage of this process in making bread, beer, and wine. In these three product the same microorganism is used: the common yeast or Saccharomyces Cerevisae.


The effect of acid on the cell membrane?

The same as the effect of acid on your skin. It breaks down and seperates.

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.


Is sulfuric and muratic acid the same?

Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.


Is stomach acid and gastric acid the same?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the component of gastric acid (also called gastric juice). Other components include electrolytes and enzymes. So no, hydrochloric acid is NOT the same thing as gastric acid


Are lactic acid and lactate the same thing?

No they are not the same. One is an acid while one is a base.

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 relationship between glycolysis and fermentation?

The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links). However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol). * This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.
