Q

describe the process of anaerobic respriation - alchol fermentation

A
  • pyruvate decarboxylated to form ethanal
    -NADH added to ethernal and is reduced froming ethenol

Q

why is add ition of this NADH important

A
  • addition of NADH allows products such as lactate and ethenol to be formed wich then regenerate NADH
  • allows glycolysis to continue and small amounts of ATP formed despite little o2 avaliable
