If a cell was unable to produce pyruvate, this cell may have a mutation in an enzyme in which process?
A)Glycolysis
B)The citric acid cycle
C)Gluconeogenesis
D)The electron transport system

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pyruvate is produced during the glycolysis process, so if a cell is unable to produce pyruvate, it is likely that there is a mutation in an enzyme involved in glycolysis. The other processes listed (citric acid cycle, gluconeogenesis, electron transport system) do not directly involve the production of pyruvate.
