question
Products of pyruvate metabolism:
answer
lactate--->fermentation in human muscle ethanol--->fermentation in yeast and bacteria acetyl CoA--->aerobic oxidation In the presence of oxygen, human cells carry out aerobic respiration, which yields acetyl CoA. In the absence of oxygen, human cells can carry out lactic acid fermentation, which yields lactate. Yeasts and many bacteria carry out alcohol fermentation, which takes place under anaerobic conditions, and produces ethanol.
question
Reactants and products of lactic acid fermentation:
answer
reactants--->pyruvate and NADH products--->NAD+ and lactate When an animal engages in strenuous usage of its muscles, anaerobic conditions ensue, and pyruvate is reduced to lactate. In the process, NADH is oxidized to NAD+. This NAD+ can further oxidize glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to produce more ATP.
