4. What is the purpose of fermentation reactions? - to regenerate NAD+ so glycolysis can continue - to make alcohol or lactic acid that cells can metabolize for energy under anaerobic conditions - to make additional ATP when respiration can't make ATP fast enough - to slow down cellular oxygen consumption when oxygen is scarce - to make organic molecules that cells can store until oxygen becomes available
