Question

question 2(multiple choice worth 2 points) (02.06 lc) which of the following identifies the purpose of anaerobic fermentation within the body? transfers nadh and fadh₂ for use in the electron transport chain converts lactic acid to pyruvate for use in the krebs cycle creates large amounts of atp for cells to use as a direct energy source produces short - term energy for the cells when oxygen is not available

Explanation:

Anaerobic fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen. It is a quick - fix energy - generating process for cells when oxygen is scarce. It doesn't produce a large amount of ATP like aerobic respiration, nor does it transfer NADH and FADH₂ for the electron transport chain (which is an aerobic process). Also, it converts pyruvate to lactic acid, not the other way around for the Krebs cycle during anaerobic conditions.

Answer:

Produces short - term energy for the cells when oxygen is not available
