to generate the glucose needed as an input for glycolysis in the cytoplasm
to generate the glucose needed as an input for glycolysis in the cytoplasm

Answer 1

to generate the NAD+ needed for the body to produce more ATP

Explanation: Under anaerobic conditions the electron transport chain can't oxidize NADH back to NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation reduces pyruvate to lactate, oxidizing NADH to NAD+, which allows glycolysis to continue producing ATP.
