Answer 2

QUESTION :

• how many oxygen atom are required for complete oxidation of one molecule of PGAL.

ANSWER :

• "2"

EXPLANATION :

• Under Anaerobic conditions, Pyruvic Acid enters in matrix of mitochondrion and undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form 2 carbon energy rich compound called Acetyl Co A.

• This process utilizes 2 oxygen atoms. Incomplete oxidation of Pyruvate leads to the formation of lactic acid in muscles and formation of ethyl alcohol in yeast as a process of fermentation.
