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
Without oxygen present cells must convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid. This regenerates the NADH required to continue glycolysis.
pyruvic acid is then converted to lactic acid
pyruvate converted to ethanol into
two steps
converted to Lactate
lactic acid
fermentation
Lactate
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.
Pyruvate is actually a salt, ester or anion of pyruvic acid, but the name pyruvate is often used for pyruvic acid.
a waste product that must be released from the cell. it is produced when the cell is low on oxygen and converts pyruvic acid.
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.
fermentation
Lactic Acid.
lactic acid
Lactate
If oxygen is not present, the pyruvic acid molecules will begin to undergo fermentation. They remain in the cell during aerobic respiration.
I do not know the answer Jaylen
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.
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.
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.
No pyruvic acid releases energy.
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.
