Question

Is ATP produced during fermentation?

Answer 1

In fermentation the pyruvic acid molecules are turned into some “waste product,” and no more energy is produced. Note that a net total of only two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose are produced in glycolysis, and no more is produced during fermentation.

Answer 2

Is that a no?

Answer 3

yes. atp is produced during fermentation. Fermentation (anaerobic respiration) produces 4 ATP molecules, but 2 are used, so the net production is 2.

Answer 4

@icecreamman Fermentation is not anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is a pathway that regenerates chemicals necessary for glycolysis. Anaerobic respiration using the same molecular machinery as aerobic respiration with the exception that oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor.
