Question

Three major ways for metabolism of pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis are

• A. Lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and aerobic respiration.
• B. Oxaloacetic acid fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, aerobic fermentation.
• C. Alcoholic fermentation, oxaloacetic acid fermentation, citric acid fermentation.
• D. Citric acid fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and aerobic respiration.

Glycolysis the common pathway of lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and aerobic respiration in which glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in a multi-step reaction which includes ten major steps involve various enzymes.

So the correct option is 'Lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and aerobic respiration.'
