Question 9 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A
Answer:
During anaerobic cellular respiration, fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen. In lactic acid fermentation, cells convert pyruvic acid into lactic acid and NADH is recycled back into NAD+. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. No additional ATP is produced during these fermentation processes beyond what was created during glycolysis.
