Cytosolic pyruvate isthe end product of glycolysis. Its fate depends on the metabolicstatus of the cell. If there is plenty of oxygen, the aerobicpathway dominates. If oxygen is insufficient, the anaerobic pathwaydominates. Associate each of the following characteristics witheither the aerobic or anaerobic fate of pyruvate.
| Catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase | |
| Catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex | |
| Oxidizes NADH | |
| Oxidizes pyruvate | |
| Produces acetyl CoA | |
| Produces lactate | |
| Recycles NADH to NAD+ | |
| Redirects glucose oxidation to the mitochondrion | |
| Reduces NAD+ | |
| Reduces pyruvate |
