Stored ATP
B
Alcoholic fermentation
C
Lactic acid fermentation
D
Cellular respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Alcoholic fermentation requires the electrons from NADH and results in the generation of NAD+. Yeast in bread dough also uses alcoholic fermentation for energy and produces carbon dioxide gas as a waste product.

Detailed explanation-2: -Though the purpose of alcoholic fermentation is to produce ATP molecules to power other reactions and processes in the cell, waste products from alcoholic fermentation are purposeful for human uses such as making bread, wine, and beer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Human muscle cells also use fermentation. This occurs when muscle cells cannot get oxygen fast enough to meet their energy needs through aerobic respiration. There are two types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
