The fate of the pyruvic acid and NADH produced in this process depends on the availability of oxygen.
The fate of the pyruvic acid and NADH produced in this process depends on the availability of oxygen. With sufficient oxygen, the NADH is oxidized in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria and the pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl CoA. If the supply of oxygen is insufficient, the pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid by the NADH. FTP, name this process, also known as the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, which produces 2 moles of pyruvic acid, 2 moles of NADH, and 2 moles of ATP from 1 mole of glucose.
