Document Summary

At this point, pyruvate can either be used: in fermentation to form fermentation products (alcohols, acids, gases) in respiration (tca cycle) to be fully oxidized to carbon dioxide. Fermentation vs. respiration: fermentation from 1 glucose molecule a net of 2 atp are produced. Partial oxidation of glucose 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: fig. 13. 21 start with pyruvic acid from glycolysis >> converted to>> alcohol, lactic acid, propionic acid (swiss cheese), isopropanol: **nadh is converted back to nad in all those conversions.
