True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?
This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.
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.
80 percent of the lactic acid produced by skeletal muscle is converted to pyruvic acid in the?
Liver
When low oxygen levels occur during exercise and glucose is converted into what stable end products?
pyruvic acid
Why pyruvic acid do not move as it is in the Krebs cycle?
why pyruvic acid do not move as it is in krebs cycle
What happens to pyruvic acid after there is no oxygen?
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
What is pyruvic acid converted to when there is a inadequate oxygen?
Lactic Acid.
True or false In the matrix pyruvic acid is converted to latic acid before the krebs cycle begins?
This is false. Pyruvic acid is converted to acetic acid prior to the krebs cycle.
When oxygen is scarce cellular pyruvic acid will be converted to?
lactic 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.
What three carbon compound is the most common end product of glycolysis?
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.
What is the pyruvic acid converted during fermentation in yeast?
Dumb, stupid

Liver
The pyruvic acid that accumulates as a result of glycolysis can be converted to?
It is converted into acetyl CoA to be used in Krebs cycle.
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 same functional group is present on molecules Of pyruvic acid butyric acid and acetic acid?
carbosyl acid
The first stage of cellular resperation is?
Glycolysis, in which glucose molecule is converted into pyruvic acid (pyruvate).
