Answer» (6-carbon molecule) changes to pyruvate(3-carbon molecule) + energy in cytoplasm.Further pyruvate changes itself in 3 different ways (generally it's considered to be in 2 ways).1. ABSENCE OF OXYGEN (IN YEAST)Pyruvate in the absence of oxygen changes in ethanol (2-carbon molecule)+ carbon dioxide + water + energy.2. LACK OF OXYGEN ( IN OUR MUSCLE CELLS)Pyruvate in the lack of oxygen changes itself in lactic ACID(3-carbon molecule)+ water + energy.The formation of lactic acid CAUSES muscle cramps when one undergo SUDDEN MUSCULAR activities.3.PRESENCE OF OXYGEN(IN MITOCHINDRIA)Pyruvate changes into carbon dioxide +water + energy.Aerobic respiration releases more energy than ANEROBIC respiration's energy. |
