an important way of making ATP without oxygen
A
fermentation
B
aerobic organisms
C
lactic acid
D
pyruvic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An important way of making ATP without oxygen is fermentation . There are two types of fermentation: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentationno post. Both start with glycolysis, the first (anaerobic) stage of cellular respiration, in which two molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -An important way of making ATP without oxygen is called fermentation. It involves glycolysis but not the other two stages of aerobic respiration. Many bacteria and yeasts carry out fermentation. People use these organisms to make yogurt, bread, wine, and biofuels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without oxygen, some human cells must use fermentation to produce ATP, and this process produces only two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose. Although fermentation produces less ATP, it has the advantage of doing so very quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fermentation is the process of producing ATP in the absence of oxygen, through glycolysis alone. Recall that glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, producing a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fermentation begins with glycolysis which breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules and produces two ATP (net) and two NADH. Fermentation allows glucose to be continuously broken down to make ATP due to the recycling of NADH to NAD+.
