Question

allows glycolysis to continue producing atp
choose
lactic acid fermentation
alcoholic fermentation
both
ther microorganisms

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Fermentation (both lactic acid and alcoholic) regenerates NAD+ from NADH. This NAD+ is crucial for glycolysis as glycolysis requires NAD+ as a co - factor. Without the regeneration of NAD+ (which occurs in fermentation when oxygen is not available for aerobic respiration), glycolysis would stop because it would run out of NAD+. Since glycolysis is the first step in ATP production (producing a small amount of ATP directly and also providing substrates for further ATP - generating pathways under aerobic conditions), fermentation allows glycolysis to continue and thus ATP production from glycolysis to continue.

C. Both
