B. Ethanol
Glucose (6-C) + 2 ATP + 4 ADP + 2 NAD ---> 2 pyruvate (3-C) + 2 ADP + 4 ATP + 2 NADH
So, the net income of ATP is 2 ATP. This process takes place in cytoplasm, and does not require oxygen. NADH contains high chemical energy (i. e., reducing power), but that energy is not available in the form of ATP unless it is processed in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.
If there is no oxygen available, animals produce lactic acid and plant produce ethanol, which end up consuming NADH in the above reaction.

Whether aerobic or anaerobic,glycolysis will always end up in the production of Pyruvate.End product of glycolysis does NOT depend on presense of oxygen,although how the end product will be used depend on oxygen!
The pyruvate is then converted to either lactic acid or alcohol-ethanol most commonly, by a different set of enzymes which are not related to glycolysis.

A. Lactic acid
Ethanol is alcohol
Carbon Dioxide is the biproduct of aerobic conditions
Pyruvate is the first stage of energy, needed for active transport through the lipid bilayer
Everyone knows what oxygen is!

through fact the electron delivery gadget releases greater ATP than glycolysis. however the ETS demands Oxygen through fact the suitable electron acceptor. there's no oxygen in anaerobic situations, subsequently potential will no longer be able to be produced via utilising the ETS.

It is lactic acid , that is why when blood is left standing at room temperature it turns more acidic. lactic acid is one cause of this acidity.

i concur, it's lactic acid...it's what builds up in your muscles during vigorous exercise.
