Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The metabolic products formed from pyruvate in anaerobic conditions in the body need to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In anaerobic conditions, there is no requirement of oxygen. Anaerobic condition is fifteen times less effective than aerobic condition.
(b)
Interpretation:
The metabolic products formed from pyruvate in anaerobic conditions in yeast needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In anaerobic conditions, there is no requirement of oxygen. Anaerobic condition is fifteen times less effective than aerobic condition.
(c)
Interpretation:
The metabolic products formed from pyruvate in aerobic conditions need to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In anaerobic conditions, there is a requirement of oxygen.

- Describeenergy consumed vs released in reactions. Differentiate between endergonic vs exergonic reactions, anabolism vs catabolism, and coupled reactions.arrow_forwardWhat key metabolic intermediate is formed from the catabolism of all three major classes of foods: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins?arrow_forwardTrypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.arrow_forward
