Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "The basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis".
Explanation:
For bacteria, the basic function of fermentation is not the production of ATP or ethyl alcohol, the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+ , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis. Bacteria normally uses glycolysis for ATP production, it only undergoes fermentation in the absence of oxygen. During bacterial fermentation, a small organic compound as an electron acceptor is used for NADH and regenerates NAD+, this NAD+ is later used in glycolysis for ATP production.
The statement 'the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+, which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis' is CORRECT.
Fermentation is a metabolic process by which cells convert carbohydrates (e.g., sugar) into alcohol or an acid.
Fermentation results in the reduction of pyruvic acid to produce lactic acid and the oxidation of NADH to form NAD+.
Fermentation does not involve the direct synthesis of ATP.
Fermentation produces two molecules of ATP per one molecule of glucose during glycolysis.
In conclusion, the statement 'the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+, which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis' is CORRECT.
