question :
what is pyruvate??? write the pathway
answer :
It is the output of the metabolism of glucose known as glycolysis. ... Pyruvate is a key intersection in the network of metabolic pathways. Pyruvate can be converted into carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, to fatty acids or energy through acetyl-CoA, to the amino acid alanine, and to ethanol.
when the oxygen is insufficient, pyruvate is broken down anaerobically, such as in fermentation that creates lactate or ethanol as an end-product.
