In which part plant trap solar energy?
In the leaves. Leaves contain chlorophyll which has structures called thylakoids. These trap photons( smallest packet of light energy).
Which are products of pyruvate dehydrogenase?
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex react with pyruvate to form acetyl-CoA
Which molecule can be made from acetyl CoA molecules?
Pyruvate
Glycolysis is the breakdown of what organic molecule?
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
Name the two step process where pyruvate is converted to a two carbon compound releasing carbon dioxide. Then the electrons are transferred from a molecule of NADH to the two carbon compound producing?
Pyruvate decarboxylation -> Acetaldehyde reduction The product is ethanol. Pyruvate decarboxylation is performed by pyruvate decarxylase with cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate, and the product, acetaldehyde, is reduced by NADH. (Pyruvate decarboxylase is NOT the same as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cellular respiration. Though pyruvate dehydrogenase also decarboxylates pyruvate, but the decarboxlated species immediately reacts with CoA to form acetyl-CoA).

What is the role of pyruvate in glycloysis?
Pyruvate is an end product of glycolysis.
What enzyme converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA?
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
Which molecule can be made from acetyl CoA molecules?
Pyruvate
The enzyme pyruvate kinase is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into?
pyruvate
Is pyruvate a cell?
No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.
In addition to ATP what are the end products of glycolysis?
NADH and Pyruvate
Glycolysis is the breakdown of what organic molecule?
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
Is pyruvate and pyruvic acid the same thing?
Pyruvate is actually a salt, ester or anion of pyruvic acid, but the name pyruvate is often used for pyruvic acid.

Where is pyruvate metabolized?
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coA in the mitochondrial matrix
