If the cell is eukaryotic and oxygen is available, then those molecules can help make more ATP. If no oxygen is available or the cell is just a lowly prokaryote, it undergoes fermentation to produce either lactate or ethyl alcohol. Why does the cell need lactate or ethanol? It does not, although the lactate can contribute to overall metabolism.

It covers the conversion of pyruvate to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase, highlighting its importance in regenerating NAD??? for glycolysis in anaerobic conditions. The document also explores ethanol fermentation in yeast, detailing the roles of pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase.
