Why do yeast cells undergo fermentation in the absence of oxygen? Fermentation produces the starting materials for the citric acid cycle Fermentation produces more ATP than glycolysis for each glucose input. To oxidize NADH and produce NAD+ None of these options are correct. Energy is captured via substrate level phosphorylation during fermentation

Fermentation generates toxic products (lactate or ethanol) ā so why do cells use fermentation under anaerobic conditions? Group of answer choices To reduce pyruvate All of the responses are correct. To oxidize NADH To allow ATP production through glycolysis To generate NAD+

Fermentation does not generate ATP. Briefly explain, then, how fermentation is beneficial for cells. Be sure to describe the role of glycolysis, oxygen, NAD+, NADH, and ATP.

Fermentation permits the continued extraction of energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen. If glucose catabolism is anaerobic, why is fermentation necessary for glycolysis to continue?
