Anaerobic

• What happens to the pyruvate produced in glycolysis?


  converted into ethanol (plants&yeast) or lactate (animal + some bacteria) using REDUCED NAD
• What does the production of ethanol or lactate do?

  Regenerates oxidised NAD.

  This means glycolysis can continue even when there is not a lot of oxygen around,

  so a SMALL AMOUNT OF ATP can still be PRODUCED to KEEP SOME BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES GOING
