Question 130237 • First Semester Biology

Which statements accurately describe fermentation? Select two options.Oxygen is present during this process.Cells may convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid.NAD+ is converted to NADH.Fermentation is an anaerobic process.Additional ATP is produced after glycolysis.

Answer
A
Oxygen is present during this process.
B
Cells may convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
C
NAD+ is converted to NADH.
D
Fermentation is an anaerobic process.
E
Additional ATP is produced after glycolysis.

Explanation

In lactic acid fermentation, cells convert pyruvic acid into lactic acid, so statement B is accurate. Fermentation occurs without oxygen, making it an anaerobic process, so D is also accurate. Fermentation regenerates NAD+ from NADH rather than converting NAD+ to NADH, and it does not produce additional ATP beyond the ATP made during glycolysis.
