Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The group that gets reduced in conversion of pyruvate to lactate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

  Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules.  It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.

NAD+Molecule: It is the oxidized form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) which exists in all cells and needed for activation of enzymes.

NADHmolecule: It is coenzyme which gets oxidized on reducing another compound. The oxidized form of NADHisNAD+.

Kinase: It is enzyme which serves as a catalyst in reaction of transferring phosphoryl group into the substrate.

Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.

Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.

Enzyme: The proteins that helps chemical reaction to occur.

Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.

Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.

So I'm working on molecular geometry. Can you help me with this stuff here and create three circles: one that's 120, one that’s 180, and one that’s 109.5?
Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Using the provided starting and product structures, draw the curved electron-pushing arrows for the following reaction or mechanistic step(s). Be sure to account for all bond-breaking and bond-making steps. Problem 164 of N Select to Add Arrows CHI CH 1 1 1 P
using these can you help me , I guess convert them to lewis dit structures or full drawn out skeletal and I guess is that what would help me depict the bond angle.
