Summary Introduction

To explain:

The formation of lactate permits glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions.

Introduction:

The fermentation is the process of conversion of pyruvate to ethanol by a single celled organism called yeast in a very low level of oxygen. This pyruvate leads to the formation of lactate in the cytosol of a cell. The formation of lactate is one of the fates of pyruvate.
