Pyruvate is actually a salt, ester or anion of pyruvic acid, but the name pyruvate is often used for pyruvic acid.
No, not all microorganisms use pyruvic acid in the same way. Pyruvic acid is a key molecule in cellular respiration and can be converted into different compounds depending on the organism and its metabolic pathways. Some microorganisms may further metabolize pyruvic acid through fermentation, while others may oxidize it completely through the citric acid cycle.
Yeast metabolizes pyruvic acid through fermentation to produce alcohol because this process enables it to regenerate NAD+, necessary for sustaining glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. By converting pyruvic acid into alcohol, yeast can maintain its energy production despite limited oxygen availability. Additionally, secreting pyruvic acid directly would not serve the same energy-generating purpose as fermentation.
Pyruvate and NADH because of the different strains and ways of metabolic , the products generated by different sorts are not same in which lactic acid fermentation is divided into 3 types ,the same type of lactic acid fermentation ,abnormal fermentation of lactic acid and bifidobecterium fermentation
Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate and releases energy to create ATP. Oxidative respiration uses the oxidation of nutrients, or the loss of electrons in the molecule, as the source of energy to make the ATP. Both create the same thing, but the difference lies in the source of the energy.
A mutation can change a codon for one amino acid into a different codon for the same amino acid through a process called silent mutation. This type of mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid that is coded for, resulting in the same protein being produced.

The same functional group present on molecules of pyruvic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid is the carboxyl group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached to the same carbon atom.

The anaerobic process of splitting glucose to form pyruvic acid is called glycolysis. The citric acid cycle is a series of reactions in aerobic respiration that begins and ends with the same 6 carbon compounds.

Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
No they are not the same. One is an acid while one is a base.
Wondering the same thing
well you can have acid rain but not all rain is acid rain
The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links). However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol). * This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.
There are two types of fermentation usually studied in Biology: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis.
Yes, stomach acid and gastric acid are the same. Stomach acid, also known as gastric acid, is a digestive fluid produced in the stomach that helps break down food for absorption and kills harmful bacteria.
