Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The summary equation for the conversion of glucose to lactate is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The sequence of reactions that converts glucose to pyruvate is very similar in all organisms and in all kinds of cells. The fate of pyruvate is that it is used to generate energy that is variable. Three different fates of pyruvate are considered.
• Oxidation to acetyl
• Reduction to lactate
• Reduction to ethanol.

- 14 Question (1 point) Disiamylborane adds to a triple bond to give an alkenylborane. Upon oxidation with OH, H2O2, the alkenylborane will form an enol that tautomerizes to an aldehyde. In the first box below, draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction of disiamylborane with the alkyne, and in the last box draw the structure of the aldehyde. 4th attempt Feedback i > 3rd attempt OH, H2O2 i See Periodic Table See Hintarrow_forwardanswer with mechanisms and steps. handwritten please!arrow_forwardHello I need some help with Smartwork. For drawing structure B, I know the correct answer is CH₃B₂, but when I try to type it in, it keeps giving me CH₄BH₃ instead. Do you know how I should write it properly? Should I use a bond or something else?arrow_forward
