Document Summary

At this point, pyruvate can either be used: In fermentation to form fermentation products (alcohols, acids, gases) or. In respiration (tca cycle) to be fully oxidized to carbon dioxide. From 1 glucose molecule a net of 2 atp are produced. Reduction of pyruvate: fermentation products, nad, respiration. From 1 glucose molecule up to 38 atp are produced. Oxidation of pyruvate by citric acid cycle. Fermentation: during fermentation, glycolysis occurs followed by fermentation reactions (no tca, no etc, during glycolysis, electrons from glucose are passed to 2 nad+ creating 2 nadh. In fermentation, electrons from nadh are passed to pyruvate, regenerating nad+, so glycolysis can continue. In this process (glycolysis followed by fermentation reactions), net gain of 2 atp are made by substrate level phosphorylation; no extra atp are made. Types of fermentation: homolactic fermentation- once electrons from nadh are passed to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid, ex.
