> if glycolysis continues under anaerobic conditions (no oxygen or not enough to meet demand) we run out of NAD
>
> If all NAD+ gets reduced to NADH during glycolysis then glycolysis stops and no more ATP can be produced..so need some way to regenerate NAD+ from the NADH..
>
> 1. make lactate ..as in yoghurt making, or in human muscle cells when there is insufficient O2.
>
> 2. fermentation
> Some bacteria and fungi use fermentation..no O2 required and no electron transport chain.
> do gylcolysis ONLY..so produce 2 ATP net per glucose molecule.
> in fermentation , NADH transfer their H atom (plus an electron) to pyruvate producing either
> ethyl alcohol (as in grog)..yep like beer, wine etc. and CO2..goldfish do this too..
>
> So this had me wondering in the lecture if you eat say carb sushi ..do you get alcohol in your blood?..like "no officer I haven't had anything to drink.."
> Or do goldish enjoy an anaerobic environment?
> Does the alcohol give them a high..like if we get drunk.. do they get a hangover?
>
> So, yeah you're right :)..or you mean everyone doesn't have a brain that wonders off topic?

>It was meant affectionately as in you are funny in the way you bring such examples into your posts. Since most of your posts are far over my head, I concentrate more on the funny parts. :-)
