Pyruvate is processed differently under Pyruvate is processed differently under aerobic and anaerobic conditionsaerobic and anaerobic conditions
Under aerobic conditions, the high Under aerobic conditions, the high energy electrons in NADH produced in energy electrons in NADH produced in glycolysis are ferried to ATP-glycolysis are ferried to ATP-generating reactions in the generating reactions in the mitochondria, making NAD+ available mitochondria, making NAD+ available to recycle in glycolysisto recycle in glycolysis

Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted into lactate or ethanol, a converted into lactate or ethanol, a process called fermentationprocess called fermentation
Fermentation does not produce more Fermentation does not produce more ATP, but is necessary to regenerate ATP, but is necessary to regenerate the high-energy electron carrier the high-energy electron carrier molecule NAD+, which must be molecule NAD+, which must be available for glycolysis to continue available for glycolysis to continue
