What are the metabolic fates of pyruvate quizlet?

Answered

The metabolic fates of pyruvate include: 1) Conversion to Acetyl-CoA (in aerobic conditions, entering the citric acid cycle), 2) Lactic Acid Fermentation (in anaerobic conditions, converting pyruvate to lactate), 3) Alcoholic Fermentation (in yeast, converting pyruvate into ethanol and CO2), 4) Gluconeogenesis (where pyruvate can be used as a precursor for glucose synthesis), and 5) Amino Acid Synthesis (where pyruvate can be converted into amino acids like alanine). These fates vary based on the organism and the oxygen availability in the environment.
