Which of the following statements about fermentation is TRUE? It does not require enzymes. It is an example of anaerobic respiration. It only occurs in bacteria. Intermediate organic compounds (such as pyruvic acid) are used as electron acceptors. ATP is not produced.

Statement 1: "It does not require enzymes." Fermentation, like all metabolic pathways, is catalyzed by enzymes. For example, glycolysis (the first stage of fermentation) involves several enzymes, and the subsequent steps that regenerate NAD+ also involve specific Show more…

Fermentation is a chemical reaction that occurs in the cytoplasm. Because it is anaerobic, fermentation does not require oxygen. Compared to cellular respiration, lactic acid fermentation generates much less ATP and is less efficient.

Which statement, if any, identifies a similarity between fermentation and the citric acid cycle? Both oxidize pyruvate. Both involve a redox reaction. Both produce ATP (GTP). Both occur during anaerobic (fast) respiration. None of the above is a correct comparison.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE of fermentation? Certain cells use fermentation pathways to continue to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. Both lactate and ethanol are end-products of fermentation pathways Without fermentation, a cell would not be able to replenish NAD+ which is a required substrate for glycolysis. Fermentation pathways take place in the mitochondrial matrix.
