Question

Assess the following statements and classify them according to their relevant metabolic process(es) Fermentation Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration Pyruvate is reduced to form an organic end product and NADH is oxidized in this process Glucose is oxidized to pyruvate at the start of this process Organisms that carry out this process have membrane-bound enzymes that transfer electrons to a terminal acceptor The terminal electrorn acceptor is less electronegative than oxygen in this process The tricarboxylic acicd cycle is a feature of this process Reset

Explanation / Answer

Fermentation: Pyruvate is oxidized in this process to form an organic acid end products lactic acid, and NADH is oxidized.

Aerobic Respiration: Glucose is oxidized to pyruvate at tha start of this process.

   The tricarboxylic acid cycle is feature of this process.

Anaerobic Respiration: Organisms that carry our this process have membrane bound enzymes which transfer    electrons to terminal acceptors.

The terminal electron acceptor is less electronegative than oxygen in this process and it also results in less amount of energy production.
