The answer is B. Only the "Analysis" section includes specific data comparisons, and only the "Conclusion" section suggests further research.
Answer:
No, glycolysis can not be continued without fermentation in the absence of oxygen.
Explanation:
In the absence of oxygen, cells perform fermentation to oxidize NADH into NAD+. NAD+ is required during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate into 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate. Fermentation reduces pyruvate and oxidizes NADH so that the NAD+ supply is continued to ensure continuity of glycolysis.
If fermentation does not occur under anaerobic conditions, cells will accumulate pyruvate and NADH. Glycolysis could not be continued in the absence of NAD+.
