no, pyruvate is a product of the EM, ED and pentose phosphate pathways. these utilise glucose with the end product of pyruvate. this can then have many fates. it can enter the Krebs cycle and be used to generate energy and be used for biosynthesis or it can be fermented into ethanol or lactic acid in anaerobic conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Are all microorganisms decomposers?
No, not all microorganisms are decomposers. While many microorganisms play a role in decomposition, there are also microorganisms that perform other functions such as aiding in fermentation, producing antibiotics, or causing diseases.
What is the difference between microorganisms and organisms?
Microorganisms are tiny organisms that can only be seen with a microscope, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Organisms, on the other hand, refer to living beings that can be seen with the naked eye, including plants, animals, and humans. Essentially, all microorganisms are organisms, but not all organisms are microorganisms.
How many turns can a single glucose molecule drive the Krebs cycle?
A single glucose molecule is able to drive the Krebs cycle 2 times. The Krebs Cycle is the series of chemical reactions that take place to provide all aerobic organisms with the ability to make energy.
Do microorganisms need nutrients?
yes, microorganisms need nutrients for their growth. That nutrients also used for their own metabolisms. but all the microorganism's doesn't take same type of nutrient. Based on the categories and metabolisms it require different/ varies nutrients.
Can current scientific methods conclusively distinguish all microorganisms?
No, current scientific methods cannot conclusively distinguish all microorganisms. While advances in technologies such as DNA sequencing have greatly improved our ability to identify and differentiate between microorganisms, there are still limitations in identifying certain species or strains due to their genetic similarities or the presence of novel or unculturable microorganisms.
Do most organisms perform fermentation using a chemical reaction that converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid?
No, not all organisms perform fermentation by converting pyruvic acid to lactic acid. Some organisms, such as yeast, perform fermentation by converting pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide through a process called alcoholic fermentation.
What is the difference between pyruvic acid butyric acid and acetic acid?
Pyruvic acid is a three-carbon molecule produced during glycolysis, butyric acid is a four-carbon fatty acid produced by certain gut bacteria, and acetic acid is a two-carbon fatty acid commonly found in vinegar. They differ in the number of carbon atoms they contain and their biological functions in metabolism.
How is the breakdown of pyruvic acid related to the citirc acid cycle?
It is the carboxylate ion of pyruvic acid, called pyruvate (3C), which passes into the mitochondrial matrix; it loses 1 carbon (as CO2) in the link reaction, & the remaining 2C product enters the citric acid cycle for final breakdown of the carbon chain.
What do all acids end with?
I belive it is -ate. Lactic Acid -- Lactate Pyruvic Acid - Pyruvate Carbonic Acid -- Carbonate By the way, I am by no means an expert, I am still a student. I am learning about cellular respiration and fermentation which has lactic acid and pyruvic acid in it. And both can also be called with lactate and pyruvate. My textbook does so and my teacher subtly said this was true. I don't know yet because we have a graded lab on it, so afterwards she will be able to tell us.
An anaerobic metabolic pathway that results in the production of two net ATP per glucose plus two pyruvic acid molecules is?
Glycolysis is an ATP-generating metabolism that takes place in almost all living cells. It refers to the process of breaking down glucose or other sugars and converting them into pyruvic acid.
What is one good waste made by microorganisms?
Im not really all that sure but I have reason to belive either acetic acid in wine or yeast in bread is made up of microorganisms.
Is acid the same thing as rainwater?
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
Does all microorganisms unicellular?
No, not all microorganisms are unicellular. Some microorganisms, like certain types of fungi and algae, can be multicellular.
Does microorganisms mean the same as germs?
Yes, and so does "microbes", and microscopic organisms. Answer Usually the word germ carries a negative connotation (thus, usually the disease causing Pathogenic microorganisms are referred to as germs). remember, not all microorganisms are bad. In fact some are quite good. However, in some scientific circles, all microorganisms whether good or bad are germs.
Is LSD drug different from LSD and acid?
No, these all refer to the same compound, lysergic acid diethylamide.
What do proteins nucleic acid's carbohydrates all have in common?
They are all formed from the same elements.
Are acid hydrogen and base all the same?
No. The concepts are somewhat related, but they are not in any way "the same".
