Question
Which of these is not true of fermentation?a. There is a net gain of only two ATP per glucose.b. It occurs in cytoplasm.c. NADH donates electrons to the electron transport chain.d. It begins with glucose.e. It is carried on by yeast.
Step 1
Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. It is an anaerobic process, which means it occurs without oxygen. Show more…

It is an aerobic process. d. It can be performed only by bacteria. e. It produces more energy per glucose molecule than does aerobic respiration.
Which of the following is TRUE about fermentation? Electrons are transferred from NADH to pyruvate molecule of ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation: c It produces both NADH and FADH2 d.
