Does fermentation occur before or after glycolysis?
Does fermentation occur before or after glycolysis?
Answered
Fermentation occurs after glycolysis, particularly in the absence of oxygen. It allows cells to regenerate NAD+ from NADH, ensuring that glycolysis can continue in an anaerobic environment. Pyruvate produced from glycolysis is converted into various fermentation products, such as lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the organism.
