What is a disadvantage of fermentation as a process?
|
|
It produces too much ATP
|
|
|
It only produces 2 ATP
|
|
|
It occurs in the absence of oxygen
|
|
|
It is only for quick bursts of energy

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cells cannot make more than 2 ATP in fermentation because oxidative phosphorylation does not happen due to a lack of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bloating The most common reaction to fermented foods is a temporary increase in gas and bloating. This is the result of excess gas being produced after probiotics kill harmful gut bacteria and fungi.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation only produces a net gain of 2 ATP because fermentation only uses glycolysis to produce ATP. Aerobic cellular respiration will generate between 36 and 38 ATP – mainly during oxidative phosphorylation.
