Question
In presence of TPP and carboxylase, pyruvic acid is transformed into____________.
- Acetaldehyde and CO2
- Ethyl alcohol and CO2
- Citric acid and CO2
- None of the above
Hint:
In presence of TPP and carboxylase, pyruvic acid is transformed into acetaldehyde and CO2.
The correct answer is: Acetaldehyde and CO2
- Pyruvic acid is transformed into acetaldehyde and CO2 during the fermentation of alcohol in the presence of TPP and carboxylase.
- Ethanol is created by further oxidizing acetaldehyde.
