If oxygen is present it is converted to Acetyl-CoA and enters citric acid cycle
If oxygen is not present is will become lactic acid and /or ethanol

Pyruvic acid can be further reduced without the presence of oxygen in a process called .?
fermentation
Athletes sometimes complain of oxygen debt a condition that results when insufficient oxygen is available to completely break down pyruvic acid As a result the pyruvic acid is converted to?
Lactate
What three carbon compound is the most common end product of glycolysis?
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.
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.
Products of lactic acid fermentation?
a waste product that must be released from the cell. it is produced when the cell is low on oxygen and converts pyruvic acid.
Is this true or false The pyruvic acid produced in electrolysis enters the chloroplasts if the oxygen is present in a cell?
It is false that if oxygen is present in a cell, pyruvic acid in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria if oxygen is present in a cell.
Pyruvic acid can be further reduced without the presence of oxygen in a process called .?
fermentation
What is pyruvic acid converted to when there is a inadequate oxygen?
Lactic Acid.
When oxygen is scarce cellular pyruvic acid will be converted to?
lactic acid
Athletes sometimes complain of oxygen debt a condition that results when insufficient oxygen is available to completely break down pyruvic acid As a result the pyruvic acid is converted to?
Lactate
When o2 is not present to which compound is pyruvic acid converted?
If oxygen is not present, the pyruvic acid molecules will begin to undergo fermentation. They remain in the cell during aerobic respiration.
What happens to the pyruvic acid before entering the citric acid cycle?
I do not know the answer Jaylen
What elements does pyruvic acid contain?
Pyruvic Acid is an organic acid, a ketone, as well as the simplest of the alpha-keto acids. The elements that form peruvic acid are Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, the formula of peruvic acid is CH3COCOOH.
What substance is not produced in a muscle cell under anaerobic conditions?
Lactic acid (also called lactate).The product of glycolysis in the cytoplasm is pyruvic acid (= pyruvate). If there is not enough oxygen for the mitochondria to oxidize the pyruvic acid, the enzyme lactic acid (or lactate) dehydrogenase, which is in the cytoplasm, reduces the pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
How many atoms does pyruvic acid have?
The molecular formula of pyruvic acid is C3H4O3, which means it has 3 atoms of Carbon, 4 atoms of Hydrogen and 3 atoms of Oxygen. 10 atoms in total.
Does pyruvic acid store energy?
No pyruvic acid releases energy.
What three carbon compound is the most common end product of glycolysis?
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.
