recycles NAD+

Explanation:

The products of glycolysis are 4 ATP (Net gain 2), 2 pyruvates, and 1 NADH. the function of fermentation is to use the NADH and return it back to NAD+ because NAD+ is an electron acceptor. without fermentation, there will be no more electron acceptors, glycolysis cannot continue to yield ATP and will shut down, and the cell dies
