Definition of Regeneration of NAD in the absence of oxygen
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Regeneration of NAD in the absence of oxygen in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Without oxygen the electron transport chain cannot reoxidise NADH, so NAD must be regenerated for glycolysis to continue.
