Alcoholic
Enzymes convert Pyruvic Acid and NADH into Ethyl alcohol, CO2 and NAD+ -Recycles the NADH back into NAD+ so glycolysis can keep happening... -Produced in wine, beer, bread.
Lactic Acid
-Enzymes convert the Pyruvic Acid and NADH into Lactic Acid (3C) and NAD+ -Recycles the NADH back into NAD+ so glycolysis can keep happening. -Used by many bacteria (seen in dairy) and several cells of animals, mostly muscle. -Lactic acid causes the "burn" in muscles after a workout, eventually cleared by liver and kidneys
