Short Answer: To regenerate NAD+ for the continued function of glycolysis.
Detailed Answer: As NADH is formed in glycolysis (2 NADH per glucose), NAD+ must be regenerated to allow continued glycolytic flux (and consequent production of ATP). In the presence of adequate oxygen (i.e. under aerobic conditions), this regeneration takes place predominantly in the mitochondria. Under anaerobic conditions, however, the only way to regenerate NAD+ is through lactate fermentation (e.g. mammals) or ethanol fermentation (e.g. yeast).

What is formed during a waste product during respiration?
Main waste material is CO2.Lactate Ethanol are also waste products
What is the fate of pyruvate in mitochondrial respiration?
Pyruvate is formed from glucose during glycolysis. Should the conditions be aerobic, pyruvate will be converted into Acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA) with the help of an enzyme called "pyruvate dehydrogenase." Bi-products of this reaction include CO2 and NADH This occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. Acetyl CoA will then continue into the Krebs cycle/citric acid cycle. After this, the products of the cycle (NADH and FADH2) will be involved in oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain where large amounts of ATP will be produced. This occurs in the inner layer of the mitochondria. Should there be anaerobic conditions, then animals can convert pyruvate into lactate. Or, in plants; pyruvate is converted into ethanal and then into ethanol in a process called fermentation.
What are the two substances that may be formed in anaerobic respiration?
it is lactic acid and pyruvic acid
What is formed during the process of anaerobic lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid which may cause fatigue if in muscles .
Where is anaerobic respiration take place?
The reactions of anaerobic respiration take place in the cytoplasm.
What is formed during a waste product during respiration?
Main waste material is CO2.Lactate Ethanol are also waste products
A soccer player has been sprinting up and down the field he is breathing very hard and has a burning sentation in his muscleswhich of the following most likely explains the cause of his symptoms?
The burning sensation in the muscles after strenuous exercise is caused by lactic acid. It is an acid that is formed when the body breaks down carbohydrates to use for energy when the normal energy stores have been used up. Muscles are building up lactate from anaerobic respiration. (apex!)
What do plants produce at the end of anaerobic respiration?
An end product of CO2 is formed during anaerobic respiration in germinating seeds. This can be determined by an experiment with mercury test tube and germinating seeds.
Does latic acid cause from alcoholic fermetation?
Nopes. Lactic acid is formed during anaerobic respiration in humans and other animals. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out by yeast, and produces ethanol.
Why micelles are not formed in ethanol?
dirt particles are soluble in ethanol

How is oil and natural gas formed?
Oil and natural gas, also called fossil fuels, are formed by anaerobic decomposition of dead and buried organisms. Anaerobic decomposition is the decomposition of something while lacking oxygen, which is caused by it being buried in mud and sediment, which over time (millions of years) will cause favorable conditions for fossil fuels to form.
What is the pH of human when he is dying?
Acidic. It means less than 7. As human is dying, the cells continue to consume oxygen and carbon bi oxide is being formed and also lactate due to anaerobic respiration making the pH less than 7, may be 6 or 5.
When glucose is fermented ethanol is formed together with?
co2
What is formed with ethanol and cinnamic acid?
ethyl cinnamate
Is Lactic Acid formed in Aerobic respiration?
No it is not formed in aerobic respiration. It is produced in anaerobic respiration
What is the chemical substance formed in the anaerobic respiration in muscles?
glycolsys
