A yeast cell is placed into an anaerobic glucose medium Through which process will the yeast produce ATP? krebs cycle lactic fermentation electron transport chain alcoholic fermentation

1 answer

In an anaerobic glucose medium, yeast cells primarily produce ATP through alcoholic fermentation. In the absence of oxygen, yeast convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide, generating ATP in the process. While the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain are part of aerobic respiration, they do not occur effectively without oxygen. Lactic fermentation is also an anaerobic process but is not characteristic of yeast; it is more common in muscle cells and some bacteria. Therefore, the answer is alcoholic fermentation.
