Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do both glycolysis and fermentation have in common?
A
They requireoxygen
B
They producelactic acid and ethyl alcohol
C
They produceATP
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both fermentation and glycolysis produce ATP, and they both are involved in the production of energy and supplying it to cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcoholic Fermentation 2. The two pyruvate molecules are shown in this diagram come from the splitting of glucose through glycolysis. This process also produces 2 molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation only produces two ATP per glucose molecule through glycolysis, which is much less ATP than cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fermentation makes ATP without oxygen, which involves glycolysis only. Fermentation recycles NAD+, and produces 2 ATPs. In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate from glycolysis changes to lactic acid. This type of fermentation is carried out by the bacteria in yogurt, and by your own muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is a Metabolic Pathway that is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation. The first stage of respiration is glycolysis. When glucose is converted into pyruvate, then the process is referred to as glycolysis. It is located inside the cytoplasm of cells.
