Lactic Acid Fermentation
When oxygen levels are low, cells resort to lactic acid fermentation to regenerate NAD, allowing glycolysis to continue. This process, while beneficial for energy production, only yields two ATP molecules per glucose, highlighting its limitations compared to aerobic methods. Additionally, other organisms utilize pyruvate differently, converting it into ethanol, which has its own applications in food science.In this clip
