Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fermentation is cellular respiration without which molecule?
A
CO2
B
O2
C
C6H12O6
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How cells extract energy from glucose without oxygen. In yeast, the anaerobic reactions make alcohol, while in your muscles, they make lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cellular respiration that proceeds without oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -No, fermentation does not produce or use oxygen. Instead, alcoholic fermentation produces carbon dioxide gas with ethanol.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic Acid Fermentation Figure 7.14. 1: Lactic acid fermentation: Lactic acid fermentation is common in muscle cells that have run out of oxygen.
