Solution Preview
In the absence of the poison cyanide, glucose and oxygen are converted to CO2 and water. Pyruvate is an intermediate in this pathway: the first reactions (glycolysis) convert each molecule of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate then enters the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, where CO2 is produced. ...
