Question

description
after _____________, the two pyruvate molecules receive hydrogen from ___________ creating two _____________.

lactate can be converted back into pyruvate in the liver.

then the pyruvate can enter the _______________ cycle for aerobic respiration allowing for more atp to be made. (this is not on the diagram- think back to your prior knowledge.)

Explanation:

This covers anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration pathways. The first blank refers to the end of glycolysis, where pyruvate is produced. The hydrogen donors are NADH molecules generated in glycolysis, which reduce pyruvate to lactate. The final blank is the key aerobic respiration cycle that processes pyruvate after it is converted back from lactate.

Answer:

1. After glycolysis, the two pyruvate molecules receive Hydrogen from NADH creating two lactate molecules.
2. Then the pyruvate can enter the Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle for aerobic respiration allowing for more ATP to be made.
