Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose is to convert NADH back into NAD+so that glycolysis can continue so that the cell can produce 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function of the reactions that follows glycolysis in a fermentation pathway is to regenerate the electron carriers. During glycolysis a net gain of two ATP molecules are generated. To do this, glucose is oxidized and the electron carrier NAD+ is reduced to NADH.
Detailed explanation-3: -The NADH (biological substance producing energy) gets recycled by the fermentation process into NAD+ to allow glycolysis to generate ATP without oxygen.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the function of fermentation? Fermentation enables cells to produce chemical energy from the breakdown of sugar, e.g. glucose, without the help of oxygen.
