How many carbons does 1 molecule of pyruvate have?

Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.


A fat is called what if all the fatty acid chains are single bonded to two other carbons and two hydrogens?

If a fatty acid has a completely single-bonded carbon chain with as many hydrogen atoms as possible bound to the chain, it is refered to as a "saturated" fat. It is literally saturated with hydrogen atoms. If the chain has one or more double bonds, those double bonds reduce the number of hydrogen atoms, and so that is an "unsaturated" fat.


How many carbons depart during the preparation steps and the cycle proper during the second stage of aerobic respiration?

During the second stage of aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle), two carbons are removed in the form of carbon dioxide at each turn of the cycle. This occurs during the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate and then from alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA.


Six carbons enter the second stage of aerobic respiration how many depart during the preparation steps and the cycle proper?

During the preparation steps in the second stage of aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle), two carbons depart as carbon dioxide in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. In the cycle proper, all six carbons that entered are released as carbon dioxide molecules in the form of three molecules of CO2.


How many carbons from 1 glucose molecule enter 1 round of the Krebs cycle?

Two carbons from one glucose molecule enter one round of the Krebs cycle in the form of acetyl-CoA, which is derived from pyruvate through pyruvate dehydrogenase.
