During lactic acid fermentation, NAD+ must be regenerated for glycolysis to continue. In the absence of oxygen, NADH produced in glycolysis is converted back to NAD+ when pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid. This regeneration of NAD+ allows glycolysis to persist, enabling the production of ATP in anaerobic conditions.
In the absence of oxygen, the products of glycolysis enter anaerobic pathways such as fermentation. This allows for the regeneration of NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP. Two common types of fermentation are lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
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.
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).
During fermentation, glucose is incompletely broken down to form either ethanol (alcohol fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation) in order to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
Fermentation helps a cell make ATP by regenerating NAD+, which is essential for glycolysis to continue. During glycolysis, glucose is broken down to produce a small amount of ATP and NADH. In the absence of oxygen, fermentation pathways convert NADH back to NAD+, allowing glycolysis to persist and continue producing ATP, albeit in limited amounts compared to aerobic respiration. Thus, fermentation enables cells to maintain ATP production under anaerobic conditions.
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue as long as the glucose supply lasts. Glycolysis enables the fermentation to continues under an anaerobic conditions.

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.
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.
Glycolysis is followed by a different pathway. The combined process of pathway and glycolysis is called fermentation.
True. Fermentation is the anaerobic pathway that follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen, allowing for the regeneration of NAD+ to continue glycolysis.

Pyruvic acid is made during glycolysis and is later used in fermentation.
