Question

Number of carbons in pyruvic acid is
(a) 6 (b) 3
(c) 2 (d) 1

Answer 1

Answer:

number of carbons in pyruvic acid is 3

Answer 2

Pyruvic Acid

Explanation:

    (b)The Number of carbons in pyruvic acid is  3.

1. Each pyruvic acid contains three  carbon atoms and each carbon dioxide molecule contain only one that glycolysis produces two pyruvic corrosive atoms for every glucose particle,  
2. Glucose is a 6 carbon natural intensify that experiences glycolysis during the procedure of high-impact breath.
3. Every particle of glucose structures 2 atoms of pyruvic corrosive as the finished result of glycolysis.
4. Pyruvic corrosive is a 3 carbon compound which at that point enters Krebs' cycle by experiencing a connection response.
