The reactions of glycolysis are identical to those described up to the production of pyruvic acid. The difference is in the fate of pyruvic acid. In fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted first to ethanal (acetaldehyde) and then to ethanol. Again, the NADH from Step 5 is converted back to NAD+ in this process.

Hey buddy here is ur answer .....
→ The reactions of glycolysis are identical to those described up to the production of pyruvic acid.
→ The difference is in the fate of pyruvic acid. In fermentation, pyruvic acidis converted first to ethanal (acetaldehyde) and then to ethanol.
→ Again, the NADH from Step 5 is converted back to NAD+ in this process.
→ Well, the fate of pyruvatedepend on two factor whether oxygen is present or not.
→ In the presence of oxygen (aerobic condition) pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvatede hydrogenase which enters the TCA or Kerb cycle where large (most) of ATP molecules is generated .
→ There are three path way of pyruvic acid
1) Lack of O2
2) Presence of O2
3) Absence of O2
Hope u like answer ...
Hope u get ur answer by this information !!!
