Text: Select the possible fates of pyruvate after glycolysis. It can undergo an addition reaction to produce ethanol. It can be converted to acetaldehyde and then ethanol. It can be oxidized to produce ethanol. It can use NADH as a coenzyme to produce lactate. It can be converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to produce NAD+. It can enter the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and then the citric acid cycle.
