The NADH that is produced by glycolysis under anaerobic conditions is regenerated to NAD⁺ by the conversion of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The regeneration of NAD+ from NADH is necessary for the continuation of glycolysis under anaerobic conditions. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate cannot enter the citric acid cycle and undergo oxidative phosphorylation. Instead, it is converted to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase, which regenerates NAD+ from NADH. Therefore, the correct choice is D, in which pyruvate is converted to lactate.
