Pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis. What are the three metabolic fates of pyruvic acid under aerobic and anaerobic conditions? Write in the space provided in the diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The three metabolic formed under aerobic and anaerobic conditions are
(i) Lactic acid (ii) Ethanol (iii) Acetyl Co-A
Lactic acid is formed by the oxidation of pyruvic acid in under anaerobic condition in skeletal muscles.
Ethanol is formed by the oxidation of pyruvic acid in yeast under anaerobic condition.
Acetly Co-A is fromed by the oxidation of pyruvic acid that take place within the mitochondria under aerobic conditon.
`"Pyruvic acid "+Co-A+NAD^(+)(Mg^(2+))/("Pyruvate dehydrogenase")"Acetyl"Co-A+CO_(2)+NADH+H^(+)`
