What is the process that sustains the redox balance of glycolysis under aerobic conditions? transport of lactate from the cell regeneration of NAD* in the citric acid cycle formation of NADH in the reaction of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase regeneration of NAD* in fermentation processes regeneration of NAD* in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) plays an essential role in an exercising muscle, especially when the level of excursion surpasses the ability of circulatory systems ability to supply adequate oxygen. What is the main reason LDH is so important to the muscle under these conditions? It produces one mole of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation. It resupplies NAD+ to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. It decreases pH thus decreasing the dissociation rate of oxygen from hemoglobin It produces NADH for energy while converting pyruvate into lactate. It removes excess lactic acid from the muscle to create pyruvate. Next

In order for an adipose cell to synthesize decanoic acid, it will need substrates in the form of _______ ATP, _______ NADPH from the transport of citrate into the cytoplasm and the subsequent recycling of oxaloacetate, and _______ NADPH from the pentose phosphate pathway.

Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate will be converted to lactic acid. Why does this occur? To convert NADH to NAD* to feed back into glycolysis To supply the glycolysis reaction glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate with needed electrons in the form of NADH Because lactic acid can be converted to glucose to feed back into glycolysis Because lactic acid is needed to resupply glycolysis with electrons O
