In anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is converted to _______(a) Lactate(b) Acetyl CoA(c) PEP(d) Acetate |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (a) Lactate The best I can explain: In aerobic respiration, the pyruvate is converted to two-carbon compound acetyl CoA which enters the Kreb’s cycle to release carbon dioxide and energy. In anaerobic respiration, due to absence of oxygen, the pyruvate is converted to lactate. In yeast fermentation, pyruvate is converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide. |
