Lactate

How is glycolysis brought to a halt in anaerobic respiration?
Others require oxygen, and as they can't occur due to anaerobic conditions, the reduced NAD can't become oxidised and therefore can't convert glucose to pyruvate.
4 of 6
How is pyruvate converted to lactate?
Reduced NAD donates proton/hydrogen (oxidises NAD= NAD formed).
5 of 6
How is pyruvate converted to ethanol and how is carbon dioxide produced?
CO2 is given off from pyruvate, and reduced NAD molecule donates proton/hydrogen to in turn form ethanol.
