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.

ankoles [38]

Answer/Explanation:

All cells are not the same because not all cells contain membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. In contrast, eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles like an endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, and importantly, a nucleus.

The nucleus is where genetic information (DNA) is stored. However, it is only present in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not possess a nucleus, the DNA is found in the cytoplasm.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a <u><em>secondary </em></u> reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Explanation:

Secondary Reinforcement can be described as a condition in which  a stimulus initiates a behavior after being previously associated with a primary reinforcer. A secondary reinforcement is a stimulus that satisfies basic survival instinct such as food, drinks, and clothing.

The same phenomenon was being used by Samson to train his dolphins to perform tasks. The dolphins enjoyed the sound of the whistle because previously that sound was paired to them getting their food.
