Question

What process is described in the following diagram? (2 points) Two pyruvate molecules are converted to two ethyl alcohol molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules. In the process, two NADPH molecules are converted to two NAD+ molecules. Krebs cycle Fermentation Glycolysis Electron transport chain

Answer 1

B Fermantation

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Fermentation

In the process of fermentation the 2 pyruvate molecules are converted into two carbon dioxide molecules. In the process of two NADPH molecules are converted into two NAD+ molecules. These NADPH are the result of breakdown of a glucose molecule(glycolysis) which includes release of two ATPs.

There are three fate of pyruvate molecule that is a product of glycolysis reaction.

1- aerobic( krebs cycle)

2-anaerobic microbes( fermentation)

3- anaerobic vertebrates ( lactate formation)

The conversion of pyruvate molecules in to two carbon dioxide is anaerobic process( occurs in microorganisms).
