Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, which is converted into acetyl coA that enters the Krebs cycle when there is sufficient oxygen available. When the oxygen is insufficient, is broken down anaerobically, creating lactate in animals (including humans) and ethanol in plants.
Glucose: also known as blood sugar, a simple sugar broken down in cells to produce energy. Glycolysis: A series of chemical reactions that takes place in cells by which glucose is converted into pyruvate. Hemoglobin: Blood protein that can bind with oxygen. Lactic acid: Similar to lactate, a chemical compound formed in cells from pyruvate in the absence of oxygen.
