Normally glucose is converted to two pyruvate molecules which are then oxidized in the Krebs cycle. Since oxygen is required for this step the pyruvate accumulates and is converted to lactate. In the body lactate is can be converted to glucose in the liver and in some other tissues.
What happens is that pyruvate can accept these Hs. By accepting these Hs, pyruvate becomes Lactic Acid and the co-enzymes are freed to return to glycolysis to pick up more hydrogen's, glucose continues to provide energy anaerobically

∙ 12y agoI think ur talking about anaerobic respiration and I believe what will happen is fermentation or the build up of lactic acid caused by the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid (in humans, yeast produce ethanol) because there is no oxygen to accept electrons and NADH is used instead. Hope that helps I'm kinda rough on this stuff.

How much molecular oxygen is required in the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
There is a gross of four ATP produced during glycolysis, and two are used, which leaves a net gain of two. Therefore, two ATP are used in glycolysis.
What needs to be added to make glycolysis happen?
in order for all these reactions to occur, OXYGEN must be present.-Laurissa c:
What respiration pathway do glycolysis products enter if no oxygen is present in cells?
Aerobic Respiration pathway
Is this true or false The pyruvic acid produced in electrolysis enters the chloroplasts if the oxygen is present in a cell?
It is false that if oxygen is present in a cell, pyruvic acid in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria if oxygen is present in a cell.
What must be present for combustion to occur?
heat, fuel, and oxygen
Is oxygen necessary for glycolysis?
No - glycolysis is anaerobic (it does occur in the presence of oxygen).
Which of the following normally occurs whether or not oxygen is present?
Glycolysis
What normally occurs whether or not oxygen oxygen is present?
Glycolysis
What happens when oxygen is present after glycolysis?
fermentation
A process that does not need oxygen to be present?
Glycolysis
What happened when no oxygen is present after glycolysis?
fermentation
In presence of oxygen glycolysis is followed by?
When oxygen is present, the Krebs Cycle and then the Electron transport chain follow glycolysis. When oxygen is not present, a different pathway follows glycolysis. The combination of glycolysis and the different pathway is called fermentation.
Which process in eukaryotic cells will proceed normally whether oxygen (O2) is present or absen?
glycolysis
How much molecular oxygen is required in the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
There is a gross of four ATP produced during glycolysis, and two are used, which leaves a net gain of two. Therefore, two ATP are used in glycolysis.
Why can glycolysis supply energy to cells when oxygen is not avalable?
Glycolysis can occur without oxygen. Although glycolysis does not require oxygen, it does require NAD+. Cells without oxygen available need to regenerate NAD+ from NADH so that in the absence of oxygen, at least some ATP can be made by glycolysis.
What stage of cellular respiration follows glycolysis in the presence of oxygen?
If there is no oxygen present, then the cell does either alcohol or lactic acid fermentation. If oxygen is present, the citric acid cycle follows glycolysis, with oxidative phosphorylation following the citric acid cycle.
What needs to be added to make glycolysis happen?
in order for all these reactions to occur, OXYGEN must be present.-Laurissa c:
