Explain why this conversion occurs in organisms

Reference no: EM1397957

Many organism withstand periods of oxygen debt (anaerobic condition). Yeast undergoing oxygen debt converts pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Animals undergoing oxygen debt convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid (nuscle burn). Pyruvic acid is fairly nontoxic in even high concentrations. Both ethanol and lactic acid are toxic in even moderate concentrations. Explain why this conversion occurs in organisms.
