Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fermentation regenerates what substance so glycolysis can continue to occur?
A
ATP
B
FAD
C
NAD+
D
FADH2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of fermentation the NADH + H+ from glycolysis will be recycled back to NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue. In the process of glycolysis, NAD+ is reduced to form NADH + H+. If NAD+ is not present, glycolysis will not be able to continue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Energy Story for Fermentation of Pyruvate to Lactate The process of fermentation results in the reduction of pyruvate to form lactic acid and the oxidation of NADH to form NAD+. Electrons from NADH and a proton are used to reduce pyruvate into lactate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle can not occur if there is not NAD+ present to pick up electrons as the reactions proceed.
