What actually happens when pyruvic acid loses a carbon dioxide molecule after glycolysis? what actually happens when pyruvic acid loses a carbon dioxide molecule after glycolysis? - the pyruvic acid is decarboxylated.- the pyruvic acid is phosphorylated.- the pyruvic acid is oxidized.- the pyruvic acid is denatured.

The pyruvic acid is decarboxylated

Explanation:

The pyruvic acid is decarboxylated to form piruvate because a carboxyl group is removed in the form of CO2, and the H binds to NAD to reduce it to NADH.

The enzyme dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction of pyruvic acid and an acetyl group, so that pyruvate binds to conenzyme A forming Acetyl COA

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
