The pyruvate produced in our muscle cells undergoing glycolysis is converted to either lactate or acetyl-CoA. Why would the cell choose to convert to one molecule over the other? What is the benefit of producing these molecules for muscle cells undergoing glycolysis?

Aerobic Metabolism includes both the Citric Acid Cycle (also known as the Krebs Cycle) and the Electron Transport System, which produces a total of [ Select ] ["around 32", "4", "around 28", "2"] ATP from each glucose or [ Select ] ["2", "around 32", "4", "around 28"] ATP from each fatty acid converted to acetyl CoA's.

During a myocardial infarction, the oxygen supply to an area of the heart is dramatically reduced, forcing the cardiac myocytes to switch to anaerobic metabolism. Under these conditions, which of the following enzymes would be activated by increased levels of intracellular AMP? (A) Succinate dehydrogenase (B) Phosphofructokinase- 1 (C) Isocitrate dehydrogenase (D) Pyruvate dehydrogenase
