Is pyruvate an organic molecule?
A pyruvate is the salt of pyruvic acid, an organic acid, so yes.
Does the total number of bonds in glucose equal the total number of bonds in both pyruvic acid molecules?
no
The complete breakdown of one molecule of pyruvic acid is called what?
the krebs cycle
Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
Do most organisms perform fermentation using a chemical reaction that converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid?
yes
How many chemical changes or steps does it take just to split glucose molecule into two pyruvic acid molecules?
3 steps: First, the Glycolysis Second, the Pyruvic acid oxidation Third, the Krebs Cycle
What is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle?
pyruvic acid
What molecule reacts with pyruvic acid to release CO2?
Pyruvic acid + CoA + NAD ⟶ Acetyl - COA + CO2 + NADH2
Lactic acid is produced as a result of the chemical reduction of?
pyruvic acid
Is pyruvate an organic molecule?
A pyruvate is the salt of pyruvic acid, an organic acid, so yes.
How many ATP molecules are produced for every pyruvic acid molecule that enters the Krebs' cycle?
The energy tally from one molecule of pyruvic acid is 4 NADH, 1 FADH₂ and 1 molecule of ATP.
Does the total number of bonds in glucose equal the total number of bonds in both pyruvic acid molecules?
no
What stores more potential energy one molecule of glucose or two molecules of pyruvic acid explain?
One molecule of glucose, because 2 ATPs are formed when glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.
Process that breaks down the pyruvic acid molecule formed in glycolysis?
boner
The complete breakdown of one molecule of pyruvic acid is called what?
the krebs cycle
What does glycolysis produces?
Glycolysis (glycos, sugar + lysis, splitting) A glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid molecules are then absorbed by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, a CO2 molecule is removed from each of the acid molecules. What is left of the pyruvic acid then enters the Krebs cycle.
Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
