Question

From the standpoint of fermentative microorganisms, the crucial product in glycolysis is:_______. a. ATP and regenerated NAD ; the fermentation products are waste products. b. ethanol or lactate; ATP is a waste product. c. CO2; ATP is a waste product. d. not relevant because glycolysis is not a major pathway.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

1. In fermentative microorganisms, the crucial product in glycolysis is ATP and regenerated NAD+

2.  And the fermentation products are waste products.

3. The process of fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen.

4. In anaerobically microorganisms, fermentation occur after glycolysis because they do not have TCA cycle.

5. There is less number of ATP produced in anaerobic microorganisms as compared to aerobic microorganisms.
