What is the main purpose of dehydrogenation in the glycolysis pathway?

Regenerate NAD (correct)

Decarboxylate pyruvate

Form FAD

Produce ATP molecules

In anaerobic respiration, what role does pyruvate play in relation to NAD regeneration?

Pyruvate is converted to ethanol without involving NAD

Pyruvate accepts H atoms from NAD to regenerate it (correct)

Pyruvate forms CO2 without affecting NAD levels

Pyruvate generates ATP directly from NAD

What happens to ethanol formed in alcoholic fermentation when oxygen is available again?

Ethanol is converted back to pyruvate for energy production

Ethanol directly enters the Krebs cycle for ATP synthesis

Ethanol accumulates in the cell and can reach toxic levels (correct)

Ethanol is oxidized to produce NADH
