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.

Defenition of osmosis in your own words
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Osmosis is the scientific process of transferring fluid between molecules. When molecules move in and out of a cell to achieve the same concentration of something, like salt, on both sides, then osmosis is happening. ... The fluid might go back and forth a few times until both solutions are equally concentrated.

What feature of alcohol fermentation makes it more suitable for the baking process than lactic acid fermentation?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is : B. Carbon dioxide gas is produced as a by-product of alcohol fermentation but not lactic acid fermentation.

Explanation:

In t5he lactic fermentation, the end product is lactic acid whereas in Alcohol fermentation produces by-product carbon dioxide gas which makes it more suitable for baking.

Alcohol fermentation takes place the bread is made as gas is what puts tiny air bubbles within the dough of the bread and makes bread lighter consistency we are used to. Yeast helps in producing carbon dioxide by alcohol fermentation.
