Question

Does fermentation produce ATP?

Answer 1

Fermentation:

1. Fermentation is the chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically (non-oxygen-requiring pathway).
2. An electron transport system is not involved in fermentation, and no ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is created directly by the fermentation process.
3. Fermenters make very little ATP—only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule—during glycolysis.
4. Yes, fermentation produces ATP.
