Which molecule is reduced in the cytosol to a molecule that is then converted to pyruvate?

Solutions

Expert Solution

NAD+ is reduced to NADH in cytosol. Glucose looses its electrons which are taken up by NAD+. The oxidation of glucose results in the formation of pyruvate.

This is the process of glycolysis. It takes place in cytoplasm of all the organisms. It is a common step for aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Please rate high.

In gluconeogenesis, pyruvate is converted to PEP in two reactions. These reactions include an initial carboxylation followed by a decarboxylation in the second reaction. Based on these two reactions, you would assume that if radio-labeled 14CO2 was present in the reactions, it would not be incorporated into PEP. However, when 14CO2 is present with rat liver cells 14C slowly begins to appear in PEP and eventually on carbons 3 and 4 of glucose. Diagram a series of reactions that would...

Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted into lactate in vertebrate muscle tissue. This conversion allows the muscles to continue carrying out glycolysis because Group of answer choices The decarboxylation of pyruvate to lactate regenerates NAD+, which maintains redox balance. The reduction of pyruvate to lactate regenerates NADH, which maintains redox balance. None of the other choices is correct.
