Why is the conversion of pyruvate to lactate necessary for glycolysis under anaerobic conditions? Why is there no conversion under aerobic conditions? Please explain in detail.

Thank you!!!!
In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. A cell-free yeast extract is placed in a solution that contains 3.00 x 10 mmol glucose, 0.40 mmol ADP, 040 mmol P. 0.80 mmol ATP, 0.20 mmol NAD*, and 0.20 mmol NADH. It is kept under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in...
A suspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Adding an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase to the yeast cell suspension results in rapid cell death. Why? a.) Without alcohol dehydrogenase, the acetaldehyde concentration increases to levels that are toxic to the yeast cells. b.) NADH generated during glycolysis cannot be recycled back to NAD+, thus anaerobic ATP production through glycolysis cannot be maintained. c.) Pyruvate is no longer...
In skeletal muscle under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is further reduced to lactate. What is the net equation for the payoff phase of glycolysis? glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + 2 ATP + Pi ---> lactone + NAD+ glucose+2ATP ---> 2Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate + 2ADP + 2H+ 2glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + 4ADP + 2Pi >2Lactate + 4ATP None of the above
In a "pulse chase" experiment under anaerobic conditions, 14C glucose is added to an ethanol-producing yeast cell extract just long enough that each intermediate in the ethanol fermentation is labeled with a 14C (pulse). The 14C label is then diluted so that no additional radioactivity is incorporated into the intermediates (chase). 1. What position in ethanol will be labeled with 14C if 14C-glucose labeled at position C-1 is used? 2. Where should the 14C label sit in glucose for it...
"In many different species, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) constitues a major checkpoint of anaerobic glycolysis, by catalyzing the reduction of pyruvate into lactate. This enzyme has recently received a great deal of attention since it may constitute a valid therapeutic target for diseases so different as malaria and cancer. In fact, the isoform expressed by Plasmodium falciparum (pfLDH) is a key enzyme for energy generation of malarial parasites. These species mostly depend on anaerobic glycolysis for energy production, since they lack...
Alcohol dehydrogenase detoxifies ethanol in two steps. First, ethanol is oxidized to acetaldehyde, which is coupled with the reduction of NAD' to NADH. Second, acetaldehyde is oxidized to acetate, which process also produces an NADH molecule. Under anaerobic conditions, muscle cells needing extra energy couple the reduction of pyruvate to lactate with the oxidation of NADH to NAD*. The NAD is then shuttled to the anaerobic glycolysis reactions which produce a small amount of ATP. One common side effect of...
Read the following choices and identify the one that is NOT correct. (A) Aerobically, oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate forms acetate that enters the citric acid cycle. (B) In anaerobic muscle, pyruvate is converted to lactate. (C) In yeast growing anaerobically, pyruvate is converted to ethanol. (D) Reduction of pyruvate to lactate regenerates a cofactor essential for glycolysis. (E) Under anaerobic conditions pyruvate does not form because glycolysis does not occur.

8. Requirement for Phosphate in Ethanol Fermentation In 1906 Harden and Young, in a series of classic studies on the fermentation of glucose to ethanol and CO2 by extracts of brewer's yeast, made the following observations: 2) During fermentation under these conditions, ethanol, CO2, and a hexose bisphosphate accumulated. Yeast produces ethanol and CO2 by fermentation. NADP+ will accumulate if no ethanol fermentation occurs in anaerobic conditions. Hence, no new NAD+ would be available for further glycolysis. Pyruvate is converted...
