What substance goes into the Krebs cycle?
the goal is to take pyruvate and put it into the Krebs cycle, producing NADH and FADH2this is located in the mitochondria.The Krebs cycle and the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA produce 2 ATP's, 8 NADH's, and 2FADH2's per glucose molecule
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is called what?
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is called oxygen debt. Myoglobin stores oxygen.
What is the starting material of glycolysis?
in glycolysis beginning material is 1 mol. of glucose and ending material is 2mol. pyruvate.
Which one of the following elements is a product of cellular respiration Water Pyruvate Glucose or Oxygen?
C02 (carbon dioxide), some o2 (oxygen), and a little nitrogen occasionally.
Why anareobic glycolysis is speedy than aerobic one?
Glycolysis itself anaerobic process and forms pyruvate. If there is oxygen present, pyruvate is reduced to acetyl-coenzyme A; if there is no oxygen present, pyruvate goes through fermentation, forming either lactic acid or ethanol.
Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to?
lactic acid
How do muscles get energy when there is low levels of oxygen?
They can get some energy out of glycolysis, or the splitting of glucose into pyruvate, and the pyruvate can be fermented into lactic acid, producing more energy. This lactic acid is why your muscles get sore after oxygen deprivation.
Muscle cells when an individual is excerising heavily and when the muscle becomes oxygen deprived convert pyruvate to lactate What happens to the lactate in the skeletal muscle cells?
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
2 organs most sensitive to oxygen deprivation?
The brain and the heart are the two organs most sensitive to oxygen deprivation. The brain relies heavily on a constant supply of oxygen to function properly, and even a short period of oxygen deprivation can lead to brain damage. Similarly, the heart requires a continuous oxygen supply to maintain its pumping function, and oxygen deprivation can lead to heart muscle damage or even a heart attack.
How can oxygen deprivation of fetuses be determined?
Oxygen deprivation may be determined by checking the amniotic fluid for meconium (feces)
The organs most sensitive to deprivation of oxygen are the heart and?
The organs most sensitive to deprivation of oxygen are the heart and the brain.
Glycolysis produces pyruvate. The fate of this pyruvate depends mainly on the availability of which of the following?
Molecular oxygen
What is pyruvate converted into when oxygen is not present?
lactate
What happens to pyruvate produced when very little oxygen is available?
Pyruvate is the result of glycolysis, the degradation of a molecule of glucose. In aerobic conditions (with O2 present), pyruvate is oxidized to H2O and CO2 via the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to produce energy (ATP). In anaerobic conditions (low levels of O2), pyruvate metabolism goes in two directions: in yeasts, an alcoholic fermentation takes place (with the production of two CO2 molecules + two molecules of ethanol); while in muscle, homolactic fermentation occurs (with the result of 2 molecules of lactate).
The initial stages of oxygen deprivation may cause a sense of?
Euphoria, which may mask the ability to correctly identify the symptoms of oxygen deprivation.
Does oxygen deprivation cause memory loss?
Yes
When oxygen is plentiful pyruvate from glucose is converted to?
acetyl CoA
