Summary Introduction
Introduction: Fermentation reactions do not require oxygen as an electron acceptor, but the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule (acetaldehyde in alcoholic fermentation or pyruvate in lactate fermentation). Fermentation begins with glycolysis that yields 2ATP, 2NADH, and 2 pyruvates. The final steps of fermentation regenerate NAD+ which is required to continue glycolysis, but they produce no ATP. Thus, breakdown of one glucose molecule yields only two ATPs from glycolysis.
