Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many ATP are produced in Alcoholic respiration?
A
2
B
33
C
4
D
36
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus a total of 2 ATPs are generated from the fermentation of a glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcohol fermentation has two steps: glycolysis and NADH regeneration. During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is converted to two pyruvate molecules, producing two net ATP and two NADH.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcoholic Fermentation This process also produces 2 molecules of ATP. Continued breakdown of pyruvate produces acetaldehyde, carbon dioxide, and eventually ethanol. Alcoholic fermentation requires the electrons from NADH and results in the generation of NAD+.

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaerobic respiration, only 2 molecules of ATP are produced during the first and essentially only step; glycolysis. The low ATP yield of glucose in fermentation occurs because the glucose molecule is not completely broken down, or metabolized.

Detailed explanation-5: -Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation only produces two ATP per glucose molecule through glycolysis, which is much less ATP than cellular respiration.
