Summary Introduction

To determine:

The molecules into which pyruvate is converted when there is insufficient oxygen and to explain the reason for its occurrence.

Concept introduction:

The food contains large glucose polymers called glycogen. It is broken down into simpler units in the form of disaccharides. After this, by the process of glycolysis and other processes, it is broken down completely into give 38 molecules of ATP, which are energy rich molecules, as end product.

Pyruvate generated by glycolysis under anaerobic conditions is converted tolactate or ethanol. It may seem this is a waste of energy, but it is in factcritical to survival for cells exposed to oxygen limiting conditions. Explain whythis is true.
Ethanol is oxidized in the liver to form acetate, which is then converted to acetyl-CoA. Determine how many molecules of ATP are produced from 1 mol of ethanol. (Note that 2 mol of NADH are produced when ethanol is oxidized to form acetate.)
The end product of glycolysis, pyruvate, cannot enter as such into the citric acid cycle. Which process converts this C3 compound to a C2 compound?
