How does fermention allow the producetion of ATP 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).
How many glucose moleculeswere broken down if 2NADH molecules were produced?
If 2 NADH molecules were produced in glycolysis, it means that 1 glucose molecule was broken down. Each glucose molecule yields 2 NADH molecules during glycolysis.
What molecule is produced when two electrons and one proton combine in photosynthesis?
The reduced form of NAD+ is NADH.
How many NADH are produced during fermentation?
The fermentation pathway itself does not generate NADH itself. In fact NAD+ builds up. Glycolysis uses the NADH when oxidating carbon substrates and fermentation is used to regenerate the NAD+ and thus the cycle continues. If fermentation did not exist, NADH would build up and the cell would not be able to oxidize carbon anymore. The cell would die. In the case of respiration (aerobic or anaerobic) the cell will replenish its NAD+ pool the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation). This generates even more potential to make ATP by pumping protons out of the cell using the energy generated from NADH -> NAD via NADH dehydrogenase. This gradient can be utilized by allowing the protons to flow back into the cell through ATPase, generating ATP. The utilization of NADH to pump protons out of the cell is the sole reason why respiration generates 36-38 ATP while fermentation generates 2 ATP per glucose. After much rambling, the point to take home is that the main job of fermentation in the cell is the replenish the NAD+ pool so that glycolysis can continue which drives biosynthesis.
Are only 2 ATPs produced for each NADH molecule that enters the last stage of respiration?
The NADH molecule produces of 2 ATPs during the last stage of respiration. Some think that three ATPs are created from the NADH, however, the last stage of respiration is different than ATP and NADH during electron transfers.
What are the fermentation reactants?
In animals, fermentation is referred to as lactic acid fermentation. Its reactants include a sugar molecule, pyruvate and NADH. It produces lactic acid and releases energy.

How many NADH molecules are produced during complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
During glycolysis, 2 NADH molecules are produced. During the citric acid cycle, 6 NADH molecules are produced. Therefore, a total of 8 NADH molecules are produced during the complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose.
What molecule is produced when two electrons and one proton combine in photosynthesis?
The reduced form of NAD+ is NADH.
In glycolysis what is the number of NADH produced?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by enzymatic action. It yields 2 NADH molecules and 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

What does fermentation removes from NADH?
During fermentation, NADH transfers its electrons to pyruvate, converting it into lactate or ethanol. This process regenerates NAD+ from NADH, allowing glycolysis to continue producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.
