If oxygen is available, what happens to pyruvate?
It enters the mitochondria and is converted into acetycl-CoA
It cannot enter the mitochondria and stays within the cytosol
It enters the electron transport chain
It enters the mitochondrial matrix
The citric acid cycle will not take pyruvate on its own - it must be converted to acetyl-CoA to enter the cycle.
Acetyl-CoA = carrying a pyruvate. Coenzyme A = not carrying a pyruvate.
When pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA an electron is taken from pyruvate to create an NADH.
What happens to pyruvate if O2 is not present?
It is not shuttled into the mitochondria.
It is converted into lactate.
It enters the electron transport chain.
It is dissolved.
Both A and B.

Coenzyme A and pyruvate are converted by dehydrogenase into acetyl-CoA
Free energy released from pyruvate joins NAD+ to create NADH.
CO2 is produced in the production of acetyl-CoA which must be expelled from the cell.
When pyruvate is converted into lactate is enters the blood and travels to the liver where it breaks down back into pyruvate - next pyruvate is broken into its substrates which form together into a 6-carbon glucose which is put back into the blood for glycolysis.
What are the end products of one cycle through the citric acid cycle?
3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 2 CO2, 1 ATP
