Pyruvate+NADH--->Lactate + NAD+ +ATP
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation.
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 lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate from glycolysis is converted to lactic acid by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. This process regenerates NAD+ from NADH, allowing glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen. It is a common pathway in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen is limited.
There are two types of fermentation: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis. In alcoholic fermentation, the major products are alcohol and carbon dioxide. In lactic acid fermentation, the major product is lactic acid. For both types of fermentation, there is a side product: NAD+ which is recycled back to glycolysis so that small amounts of ATP can continue to be produced in the absence of oxygen.
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate during glycolysis. Pyruvate is then converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen, regenerating NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, is converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen. This process helps regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue in the absence of oxygen, allowing for ATP production to continue. Lactic acid fermentation is a common mechanism in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen supply is limited.
Glycolysis and Fermentation (Lactic Acid and Alcoholic).
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.

Lactic acid fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. It is an anaerobic process that converts pyruvate into lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate during glycolysis. Pyruvate is then converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen, regenerating NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.
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.
In the absence of oxygen after glycolysis, muscle cells will produce lactic acid through the process of fermentation. This allows the cells to regenerate NAD+ needed for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.

Both lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation produce energy (in the form of ATP) and end products that help regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, while alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
