What Is Regenerated During Fermentation?

High energy electron carrier is regenerated during fermentation that allows cells to continue to make ATP using glycolysis.

What molecule is regenerated during fermentation?

Fermentation will replenish NAD+ from the NADH + H+ produced in glycolysis. One type of fermentation is alcohol fermentation. First, pyruvate is decarboxylated (CO2 leaves) to form acetaldehyde. Hydrogen atoms from NADH + H+ are then used to help convert acetaldehyde to ethanol.

Which molecule is regenerated during fermentation that allows cells to continue to make ATP using glycolysis?

NAD+ is regenerated, allowing glycolysis to continue.
