    Metabolic Fate of Pyruvate
    • Pyruvic acid is the key product of glycolysis.
    • The metabolic need of the pyruvate depends on the metabolic need of the cell.
    • There are three major ways in which different cells handle pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis:
    • Lactic acid fermentation
    • Alcoholic fermentation 
    •  Aerobic respiration
    • Fermentation takes place under anaerobic conditions in many prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes.
    • For the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H2O, however, organisms adapt Krebs’ cycle which is also called aerobic respiration. 
    • This requires O2 supply.
