Q

Glycolysis needs _______ to accept electrons as part of a specific reaction. If there’s NAD+ it’s all stuck in its NADH this reaction can’t happen and glycolysis will come to a halt. So, all cells need a way to turn NAD+ to keep glycolysis going.
There are two basic ways of accomplishing this. When ______ is present, NADH can pass its electrons into the electron transport chain, regenerating NAD+ for use in glycolysis.

When oxygen is absent, cells may use other, simpler pathways to regenerate NAD+. In these pathways, NADH _______ to an acceptor molecule in a reaction that doesn’t make ATP but does regenerate NAD+ o glycolysis can continue. This process is called fermentation, and you can learn more about it in the fermentation videos.
