Pyruvic acid is an organic acid and the simplest of the alpha-keto acids. It is a key compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates because it supplies the energy to living cells through the citric acid cycle.
It can be metabolized either anaerobically or aerobically.
pyruvate
Pyruvate decarboxylation -> Acetaldehyde reduction The product is ethanol. Pyruvate decarboxylation is performed by pyruvate decarxylase with cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate, and the product, acetaldehyde, is reduced by NADH. (Pyruvate decarboxylase is NOT the same as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cellular respiration. Though pyruvate dehydrogenase also decarboxylates pyruvate, but the decarboxlated species immediately reacts with CoA to form acetyl-CoA).
Two molecules of pyruvate are created from one molecule of glucose.
In business factors that are all the same are called a pyruvate. A pyruvate are microorganisms of the same product that are produced.
In humans, pyruvate cannot be directly converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This is because humans lack the specific enzymes required to convert pyruvate into glucose. Pyruvate can be converted into lactate or acetyl-CoA, which can then enter various metabolic pathways in the body.
Glycolysis usually forms two pyruvates, also called pyruvic acids.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is part of a group of disorders called hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemias.
Two molecules of pyruvate are created from one molecule of glucose.
In business factors that are all the same are called a pyruvate. A pyruvate are microorganisms of the same product that are produced.
In Glycolysis, the final compound formed is Pyruvate. Now, pyruvate has to be transformed to Acetyl-CoA by the substitution of the carboxylic group with a Coenzyme A by pyruvate dehydrogenase. In real terms, Acetyl-CoA is the molecule that "switch on" the Krebs cycle.
In humans, pyruvate cannot be directly converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This is because humans lack the specific enzymes required to convert pyruvate into glucose.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex react with pyruvate to form acetyl-CoA
fermentation
glycolysisNote:Glycolysis, or the splitting of sugar, splits a six-carbon glucose into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules.It is called glycolosis
