Answer: The true statement is: Autocrine signals are produced by and act upon the same cell

Explanation:

Autocrine signals are made by cells producing hormones or molecules that acts on the same cell that produces it.

Usually, these autocrine hormones bind to receptors positioned in the cells producing them and thereby signal/exert changes in the cell.

Other options contains false statements

- Steroid hormones are produced ONLY when needed, not produced in advance and then stored

- Neurohormones do not help in the transmission of nerve impulses; So, they ARE NOT neurotransmitters

- Paracrine signals exert their effects on nearby cells; thus, they are not for long distance communication.

The ONLY true statement is that 'Autocrine signals are produced by and act upon the same cell.'

Explanation:

B. Lactic acid is produced from lactobacilli as the starter undergoes fermentation

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation. In lactic acid bacteria, the pyruvate produced is directly transferred to lactate (a form of lactic acid) producing NAD+.

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
