Under certain circumstances, glycolysis takes place anaerobically, in the absence of oxygen. When this happens, which of the following products may be produced? lactate ethanol carbon dioxide acetyl CoA

Lactate, ethanol and carbon dioxide can be produced.

Explanation:

Glycolysis can takes place anaerobically in case of limited supply of oxygen and in absence of oxygen. Special enzymes are required for the anaerobically glycolysis to occur under the special circumstances.

The limited supply of oxygen, the glycolysis produce lactate as the major product. The absence of oxygen condition is responsible fior the production of ethanol by the glycolysis. Carbon dioxide is produced as the by product during both the cases.

Thus, the correct answer is ethanol, carbon dioxide and lactate.
