The breakdown of pyruvic acid in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration. At the beginning of aerobic respiration, acidic acid bonds to a molecule called coenzyme A to form Acetyl CoA.

Is the breakdown of organic matter in the presence of oxygen mineralization?
It is Respiration
What what is the breakdown of sugar without using oxygen?
The breakdown of sugar without using oxygen is called fermentation.
A materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?
A material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen is called flammability.
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
Pyruvic acid can be further reduced without the presence of oxygen in a process called .?
fermentation
How does the muscle continue to contract in the absence of oxygen?
The muscle continues to contract in the absence of oxygen through Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm of a cell. It is called an anaerobic process, because it does not require oxygen.
Is the breakdown of organic matter in the presence of oxygen mineralization?
It is Respiration
What what is the breakdown of sugar without using oxygen?
The breakdown of sugar without using oxygen is called fermentation.
The complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen yields how many molecules of ATP?
36 molecules by oxydative phosphorylation.
What process gives off oxygen to the atmospher?
oxygen is primarily used by all living things to breakdown food to energy in a process called oxidation. We get this oxygen by respiration process. Apart from this plants use oxygen to make their food using sunlight in presence of Chlorophyll.
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.
A materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?
A material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen is called flammability.
What are the differences between anaerobic and aerobic breakdown of glucose?
Aerobic break down of glucose occurs in the presence of oxygen while oxygen is limited during the anaerobic process. Both processes lead to production of energy although aerobic breakdown releases a higher amount of energy than the anaerobic breakdown.
What is the result of glycolysis?
Glycolysis starting with glucose results in the production of 2 x pyruvic acids per glucose which continue on in to the mitochondria, in the presence of oxygen, for complete breakdown; a net gain of 2 x ATP and the production of 2 x NADH2 which can enter the mitochondria and via their donated electrons give rise to 3 x ATP per NADH2 inn the presence of oxygen.
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
An organism that will die in the presence of oxygen is called a?
anaerobe
