Glycolysis is followed by a different pathway. The combined process of pathway and glycolysis is called fermentation.
Two molecules of NADH + H+ are produced in glycolysis, and during fermentation, they become oxidized to NAD+ (one of the requirements for glycolysis to occur). Thus, both lactid acid and alcoholic fermentation allow for NAD+ to be continually regenerated for use in glycolysis, where a total of 4 ATP molecules are produced (a net gain of 2 ATP).
Yeast is one organism that uses alcoholic fermentation to allow glycolysis to continue producing ATP. In the absence of oxygen, yeast converts pyruvate to ethanol and carbon dioxide, regenerating NAD+ and allowing glycolysis to continue.
Anaerobic glycolysis (respiration)

Both of the reactions are under anaerobic conditions (the absence of oxygen is required in both cases). In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis takes place.
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue as long as the glucose supply lasts. Glycolysis enables the fermentation to continues under an anaerobic conditions.

The end product of glycolysis in erythrocytes is pyruvate. This is because erythrocytes lack mitochondria, so they are unable to proceed with aerobic metabolism and generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Instead, pyruvate is converted to lactate in order to regenerate NAD+ and allow glycolysis to continue producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen, allowing for the regeneration of NAD+ to sustain ATP production. This process is particularly important in anaerobic conditions where aerobic respiration is not possible.
NAD+ is the molecule that is regenerated for glycolysis during fermentation. NAD+ is essential for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen by accepting electrons from glucose breakdown.
In the absence of oxygen during glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into lactate through a process called fermentation. This allows glycolysis to continue generating ATP in the absence of oxygen by regenerating NAD+ from NADH, which is needed for glycolysis to proceed.
