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.

Why can glycolysis supply energy to cells when oxygen is not available?
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. -hazim17 sources: http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/bio%20101/bio%20101%20lectures/Cellular%20Respiration/cellular.htm This occurs via the process known as anaerobic respiration. The molecule lactic acid is used as the (temporary) electron acceptor instead of O2.
Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of?
Glucose and NAD+
How does fermentation enable glycosis to continue producing ATP?
During fermentation, cells convert NADH to NAD+ by passing high-energy electrons back to pyruvic acid. This action converts NADH back into the electron carrier NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue producing a steady supply of ATP.
What process is glucose needed for by every cell and what do they get from it?
To have a continous supply of energy, to help them reproduce and to live.
Why does your body use anaerobic respiration?
if you are burning energy faster than the body could supply the oxygen necessary for the normal reaction,. your body does that without the oxygen
Does Glycolysis supply energy or store energy?
Glycolysis is the first step in releasing energy from glucose and therefore is supplying energy to the cell.
What are the advantages of using glycolysis for energy supply?
sex
Used when the oxygen supply is inadequate over time?
Anaerobic glycolysis

Do plants supply us with both carbon and oxygen for your bodies with energy?
No they only supply us with oxygen,CO2
How do tissues get the oxygen they need for energy production?
The tissues get oxygen from oxygenated blood supply for energy production.
Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of?
Glucose and NAD+
Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of what?
glucose and NAD+
Why do animals need a continuous supply of oxygen?
Animals need a continuous supply of oxygen because it obtains energy from their food. To acquire such energy from food, cells in animals require a steady supply of ATP in order to function. To produce this ATP, cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without ATP, cells and the organism will die so therefore, animals need a continuous supply of oxygen to survive.
What happens if the body cant work fast enough to supply as much oxygen as is needed for the break down of glucose?
When the body can't work fast enough to supply enough oxygen, glycolysis separates from the Kreb's cycle, and lactate is formed. Lactate is later broken down when there is enough oxygen. The breakdown of lactate is painful, which is why we get sore muscles after working out. When glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle separate, it is referred to as oxygen debt.
What substance needs to be maintained to give cells a constant supply of energy?
oxygen and glucose
The role of atp in muscle contraction is to supply energy for?
Aerobic and anaerobic pathways. instant energy comes from anaerobic pathways (Glycolysis) and long durations come from aerobic pathways (Krebs cycle).
