Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue under
A
anaerobic conditions
B
aerobic conditions
C
photosynthetic conditions
D
hydrophobic conditions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation happens in anaerobic conditions (i.e., without oxygen). Fermentation begins with glycolysis which breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules and produces two ATP (net) and two NADH. Fermentation allows glucose to be continuously broken down to make ATP due to the recycling of NADH to NAD+.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+. The NAD+ cycles back to allow glycolysis to continue so more ATP is made.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic states.
