under what condition the six carbon glucose molecule broken down into 3 carbon molecule pyruvate and lactic acid |
|
Answer» Anaerobic conditions in muscle cellsExplanation:When the muscles perform vigorous activity and there is less SUPPLY of oxygen, the cells perform anaerobic type of respiration. This respiration takes PLACE in the absence of oxygen. Glucose is converted to 3 carbon compound PYRUVATE by glycolysis. In the absence of oxygen in muscles, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid. Thus, the correct answer is 'Anaerobic condition in muscle cells'. |
