Via the enzyme 'pyruvate kinase' , phosphoenolpyruvate is combined with Adp and Pi to {100%} YIELD pyruvate [pyruvic acid] and Atp.

Starting from Glucose, there are at least six separate [because each step "has" its own Enzyme to THOROUGHLY control the yield of the reaction] steps that precede the above.

Does pyruvate diffuse into the mitochondria for cellular respiration?

Yes, pyruvate does diffuse into the mitochondria for cellular respiration.


What are 3 organic compounds in cellular respiration?

The role of organic compounds in cellular respiration is to start cellular respiration. Cellular Respiration is a process that creates ATP. So, in order to create ATP you'll need organic compounds. Organic Compounds are converted into ATP during Cellular Respiration. This is the role of organic compound in cellular respiration.


Which part cellular respiration breaks down glucose into pyruvate?

This part of cellular respiration is called Glycolysis.


What is the pathway for metabolism of glucose?

Glucose is metabolized through a series of steps in glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate. Pyruvate is then either converted into acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle for further energy production, or converted into lactate under anaerobic conditions. The overall process generates ATP and NADH molecules for energy production.


What does pyruvate contain?

Pyruvate is a three-carbon molecule derived from glucose metabolism. It plays a key role in cellular respiration, where it is converted into acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle for further energy generation.


Where in the cell is pyruvate broken down?

Pyruvate is broken down in the mitochondria of the cell through a process called aerobic respiration. Pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source.


What happens during glycolsis in cellular respiration?

glucose is changed into pyruvate


What happens during glucolysis in cellular respiration?

glucose is changed into pyruvate


In what phase of cellular respiration is not ATP produced?

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex


What stage of cellular respiration produces pyruvate as a product?

Pyruvate is produced at the end of glycoysis and converted into Acetyl CoA and then used in tricarboxylic acid (aka Kreb's, citric acid) cycle to ultimately more ATP.


What stage of cellular respiration pyruvate as a product?

the krebs cycle produces pyruvate as a product to be used by the ATP molecules.


Where does the produced pyruvate go in the second stage of cellular respiration?

In the second stage of cellular respiration, pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). Within the citric acid cycle, pyruvate is further broken down to generate energy in the form of ATP.
