Pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis. What are the three metabolic products of pyruvic acid produced under aerobic and anaerobic conditions? Write their name in the space provided in the diagram.
• Under the Aerobic conditions, the metabolic product of pyruvic acid is Carbon Dioxide and Water, i.e., CO2 and H2O.
• Under the Anaerobic conditions (Hypoxia) in the skeletal muscles, the metabolic product of pyruvic acid is lactic acid.
• Under the Anaerobic conditions in the anaerobic organism like yeast, the metabolic product of pyruvic acid is ethanol and carbon dioxide, i.e., C2H5OH and CO2.
