Which of the three common metabolic pathways for pyruvate is compatible with each of the following characterizations concerning the reactions that pyruvate undergoes? a. Acetaldehyde is an intermediate in this pathway b. An anaerobic pathway that does not function in humans c. An anaerobic pathway that does function in humans d. A C2 molecule is a product under aerobic reaction conditions for this pathway
Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and the transitional metabolites are persistently recovered.
Glucogenesis
Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general definition for glucogenesis or gluconeogenesis is as follows,
Which of the three common
a. Acetaldehyde is an intermediate in this pathway
b. An anaerobic pathway that does not function in humans
c. An anaerobic pathway that does function in humans
d. A C2 molecule is a product under aerobic reaction conditions for this pathway
