Under аnаerоbic cоnditiоns, some orgаnisms convert pyruvate into ethanol through a two-step enzymatic pathway. In the first step, pyruvate decarboxylase, an enzyme requiring thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and Mg²⁺, catalyzes the decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde, releasing CO₂. In the second step, alcohol dehydrogenase reduces acetaldehyde to ethanol, using NADH as a reducing agent, which is oxidized to NAD⁺. This regeneration of NAD⁺ is essential for maintaining glycolytic flux under oxygen-limited conditions. The overall process allows for the recycling of NAD⁺ required by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in glycolysis, thereby enabling continued ATP production in the absence of oxygen. This pathway is most commonly observed in yeast and some facultative anaerobes. The conversion of pyruvate to ethanol occurs entirely in the cytosol. Which of the following statements is most consistent with the metabolic role of this process in yeast?
