Question

What is the correct description of lactic acid fermentation?

A.an anaerobic process that has CO2 as a byproduct

B.an anaerobic process that occurs in muscles

C.an anaerobic process that produces ATP from pyruvic acid

D.an anaerobic process that occurs in the cytoplasm

Answer 1

Option C is correct.

Lactic acid fermentation is a metabolic process in which a glucose molecule turns into lactate which again turn into lactic acid.

In this process a glucose molecule produces 2 molecule of lactate and releases 2 NADH. The NADH is produced from the reduction of NAD+ and ADP takes the phosphates to release 2 molecules of ATP.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.an anaerobic process that occurs in muscles.
