I hope this answer helped you.

Answer 2

Pyruvic acid is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-keto derivative of propionic acid. It is a metabolite which can be obtained during the process glycolysis. It has a function as a significant metabolite. It originates from propionic acid. It is conjugate acid of pyruvate. Pyruvic acid is transformed into lactic acid in the cytoplasm of tissue cells during the insufficiency of oxygen in individuals.
