The lowest yield of ATP is in ____________(a) Aerobic respiration(b) Aerobic fermentation(c) Anaerobic respiration(d) FermentationThe question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This key question is from Oxygen Uptake in Cell Cultures in portion Mass Transfer of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (d) Fermentation

Easiest explanation: Fermentation and cellular respiration begin the same way, with GLYCOLYSIS. In fermentation, however, the pyruvate made in glycolysis does not CONTINUE through oxidation and the citric acid cycle, and the ELECTRON transport CHAIN does not run. Because the electron transport chain isn’t functional, the NADH made in glycolysis cannot drop its electrons off there to TURN back into NAD^+.
