Question

question 10 of 10
an organism lives in a container with very little oxygen. it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide as waste products. which process does it use to produce most of its atp molecules?
a. alcohol fermentation
b. electron transport chains
c. lactic acid fermentation
d. glycolysis

Explanation:

Alcohol fermentation occurs in low - oxygen environments. Its products are ethanol and carbon dioxide. Glycolysis alone (without further steps like in fermentation) produces pyruvate. Electron transport chains require oxygen. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, not ethanol. So, based on the product (ethanol) and the low - oxygen condition, the organism uses alcohol fermentation.

Answer:

A. Alcohol fermentation
