  • A. This allows the mitochondria to use lactic acid instead of pyruvate.

  • B. Fermentation recycles NADH into NAD+ so glycolysis can continue.

  • C. Lactic acid ferments into alcohol, which itself can be used as an energy source.

  • D. The buildup of lactic acid from fermentation causes pain so Buster will stop.

  • E. Fermentation supplies NADH to the Krebs cycle so that ATP production can resume.
