Which of these is incorrect regarding fermentation?a. There is a net gain of only two ATP per glucose.b. It occurs in the cytoplasm.c. The process starts with glucose entering glycolysis.d. NADH donates electrons to the electron transport chain.e. It is anaerobic.
What statement can you make after knowing that oxygen is NOT present in the plant cells?
a. Alcoholic fermentation will occur.
b. Pyruvate oxidation will proceed.
c. Lactic acid fermentation will take place.
d. Oxidative phosphorylation will occur.

a. to produce carbon dioxide to breathe out
b. to produce oxygen that is needed for the electron transport chain
c. to carry electrons to the electron transport chain
d. to provide the ADP and phosphate that are needed to make ATP
