that involve oxidation of glucose to pyruvate.
Your answer
Fermentation provides a means for the cycling of NADH back to
b
NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue.
Fermentation pathways produce useful products such as lactate or
ethanol.
The amount of energy harvested from a molecule of glucose using
fermentation is much less than the amount harvested using aerobic
respiration.
