Is pyruvate an organic molecule?

A pyruvate is the salt of pyruvic acid, an organic acid, so yes.


How many ATP molecules are produced for every pyruvic acid molecule that enters the Krebs' cycle?

The energy tally from one molecule of pyruvic acid is 4 NADH, 1 FADH₂ and 1 molecule of ATP.


What stores more potential energy one molecule of glucose or two molecules of pyruvic acid explain?

One molecule of glucose, because 2 ATPs are formed when glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.

What does glycolysis produces?

Glycolysis (glycos, sugar + lysis, splitting) A glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid molecules are then absorbed by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, a CO2 molecule is removed from each of the acid molecules. What is left of the pyruvic acid then enters the Krebs cycle.


Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)


The first stage of cellular resperation is?

Glycolysis, in which glucose molecule is converted into pyruvic acid (pyruvate).
