In anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is converted to _______

In anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is converted to _______ Correct Answer Lactate

In aerobic respiration, the pyruvate is converted to two-carbon compound acetyl CoA which enters the Kreb’s cycle to release carbon dioxide and energy. In anaerobic respiration, due to absence of oxygen, the pyruvate is converted to lactate. In yeast fermentation, pyruvate is converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide.

Which of the following option about the fermentation is correct? The incomplete oxidation of glucose is achieved under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions where pyruvic acid is converted to CO2 and ethanol.  The enzymes, pyruvic acid decarboxylase, and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyze these reactions.
In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
