[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
The purpose/benefit of fermentation pathways is that they:
|
|
create ATP
|
|
|
recycle NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue
|
|
|
create NADH
|
|
|
yield FADH2 and pyruvate
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose is to convert NADH back into NAD+so that glycolysis can continue so that the cell can produce 2 ATP per glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation is another anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) pathway for breaking down glucose, one that’s performed by many types of organisms and cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The NADH (biological substance producing energy) gets recycled by the fermentation process into NAD+ to allow glycolysis to generate ATP without oxygen.
