| the combination of glycolysis and additional pathways which generate NAD+ | fermentation |
| an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound called lactic acid | latic acid fermentation |
| process by which some plant cells and unicellular organisms convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol | alcoholic fermentation |
