In humans, under ANAEROBIC conditions (no O2), pyruvate is 'converted' to lactate, though I wouldn't say it is "broken down".
In humans, under AEROBIC conditions (O2 present), pyruvate is converted to Acetyl-CoA, via the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.
In yeast, pyruvate is converted into ethanol (Party Fluid) via pyruvate decarboxylase and then alcohol dehydrogenase.

Under aerobic condition the carbohydrates are broken down in to CO2 and H2O and a large amount of energy. Under anaerobic conditions the carbohydrates are broken down in to ethyl alcohol and CO2 releasing a lesser amount of energy.

What happens when Pyruvate reacts with dinitrophenylhydrazine in SGOT?
it forms a highly coloured hydrazone
What are the products in glycolysis and where do they go?
the product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid andProducts of the first turn of the citric acid cycle are: one GTP (or ATP), three NADH, one QH2, two CO2.Because two acetyl-CoA molecules are produced from each glucose molecule, two cycles are required per glucose molecule. Therefore, at the end of two cycles, the products are: two GTP, six NADH, two QH2, and four CO2
What happens to Coenzyme A once Acetyl-CoA reacts to form citric acid?
Co enzyme A detaches and it goes to another acetyl group in the Pyruvate Oxidation
What happens when that final electron acceptor accepts electrons from the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
What happens to iron and steel in damp conditions?
It melts
What happens in glycolisis?
Glucose is converted into pyruvate.It is common to aerobic and non aerobic erspiration.Glucose is splited and converted into pyruvate..It is common to aerobic and non aerobic respiration.
What happens to aerobic and anaerobic enzymes?
Black people eat them
What is the difference between respiration and fermentation?
Cellular respiration:it's what happens under aerobic conditions. Which simply means when oxygen is present.Fermentation: Fermentation on the other hand is what happened and anaerobic conditions (when oxygen is not present).
What is the difference cellular respiration and fermentation?
Cellular respiration:it's what happens under aerobic conditions. Which simply means when oxygen is present.Fermentation: Fermentation on the other hand is what happened and anaerobic conditions (when oxygen is not present).
What will happens when glucose is completely oxidised in the body of an organism.?
not all organisms completely oxidise the glucose. it depends on whether they undergo aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiraion. in aerobic respiration glucose is completey oxidised to give out CO2 as a waste product and H2O and energy. this can be represented as Glucose------>pyruvate------> CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP Energy
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).
What happens when an aerobic organisms is placed in an anaerobic?
the electron transport chain stops stoping the citric acid cycle
What is the site of anaerobic respiration?
In fast twitch muscles.Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
What type of respiration does muscle cells perform?
Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that takes place in resting muscle tissue. This is in contrast to the anaerobic respiration that happens when muscles are exercised.
What is the difference between aerobic and anarobic celluar respiration?
Aerobic respiration is when there is enough oxygen to use by the muscles. This happpens in long distance running. Anaerobic respiration is when respiration continues without sufficient oxygen,This happens more often in sprinting. Anaerobic respiration forces the muscles to rip and repair more often, and become bigger and more efficient. This is why sprinters like Christine Ohuruogu tend to be more muscular than marathon runners such as Paula Radcliffe.
What happens to a glucose molecule when glycolysis occurs?
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
What is the difference between cellular respiration and fermentation?
Cellular respiration:it's what happens under aerobic conditions. Which simply means when oxygen is present.Fermentation: Fermentation on the other hand is what happened and anaerobic conditions (when oxygen is not present).
