Glycolysis1st step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
Fermintationprocess by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
Lactic Acidproduced in muscles during rapid exercise when the body can't suppy enough oxygen to the tissues; lactic acid fremintation= pyruvic acid + NADH ~> lactic acid + NAD+
Alcoholin the absence of oxygen, yeast and a few other microrganisms use alcoholic fermintation, forminig ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as wastes
