Question

Please help! For a test and really need to do well. Thank you so much!

During fermentation, this acne-causing bacteria produces propionic acid. Select the TRUE statement below regarding fementation?

All fermentative organisms have the ability to perform ethanol fermentation. Fermentation is unfavorable because the production of acidic end-products provides an unfavorable environment for the organism’s growth. Fermentation produces significantly less ATP than aerobic respiration; however it generates NAD+, which can be used in glycolysis. Fermentation does not yield any ATP for the cell.

Explanation / Answer

Fermentation produces significantly less ATP than aerobic respiration; however it generates NAD+, which can be used in glycolysis.

IN LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION ------when pyruvate is converted to lactate then 2 molecules of NAD+ ------ 2NADH.
