How does the fermentation of pyruvic acid in cells contribute to the formation of ATP? A. It completes the oxidation of glucose

to CO2, creating ATP. B. It generates lactic acid, which cycles back through the Krebs cycle, producing 2 ATP molecules. C. It converts FADH2 to phosphate, which bonds with ADP. D. It produces 2 NAD+ molecules, which cycle back to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing 2 ATP molecules to be produced.

Answer:

D. It produces 2 NAD+ molecules, which cycle back to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing 2 ATP molecules to be produced.

Explanation:

In both lactic and alcoholic fermentation there is a balance of only 2 ATP molecules and, in both processes, they start with pyruvic acid obtained from glycolysis.

In lactic fermentation pyruvic acid is reduced to lactate by the action of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, using hydrogen ions from the reoxidation of NADH2 formed in glycolysis. In this process occurs the production of 2 NAD + molecules, which return to feed the glycolysis reaction, allowing the production of 2 ATP molecules.

In alcoholic fermentation the pyruvic acid is converted to acetaldehyde through the pyruvate decarboxylase action, generating CO2 and NADH and reoxidizing NADH through alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde is converted to ethyl alcohol. This process also produces 2 NAD + molecules, which return to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing the production of 2 ATP molecules.

The correct answer is option D,

in the alcoholic fermentation, which  is a type of anaerobic respiration pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol and CO2  thereby creating NAD+ from NADH after glycolysis.

KATRIN_1 [288]

The correct answer fro above statement is:

<h3> c. Half of all rainforest plants have been tested for their medicinal properties.</h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Twenty-five percent of the fresh components in cancer medications are particularly rainforest plants.Rainforests are essential because they serve control global climate trims and rain. Water that disappears from trees comes in other regions as rain.Twenty-five percent of Western pharmaceuticals are obtained from rainforest components. But since only a minute portion of rainforest organisms have been investigated, as the rainforest species escape so do possible remedies and therapies for life-threatening disorders.

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures
Citrus2011 [14]
All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.
