MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During NADH regeneration, the two pyruvate molecules are first converted to two acetaldehyde molecules, releasing two carbon dioxide molecules in the process. The two NADH then donate electrons and hydrogen atoms to the two acetaldehyde molecules, producing two ethanol molecules and regenerating NAD+.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation begins with glycolysis which breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules and produces two ATP (net) and two NADH. Fermentation allows glucose to be continuously broken down to make ATP due to the recycling of NADH to NAD+.
