The end product of one stage fermentation is ?

A
Formic acid
B
Pyruvate
C
Lactate
D
Ethanol
High-Yield Explanation
D i.e. EthanolAerobic glycolysis in cells with mitochondria & adequate oxygen supply PyruvateQ is the end product and NADH enters oxidative phosphorylation for ATP productionAnaerobic glycolysis in cells that lack mitochondria (eg RBCs) or deprived of sufficient 0, LactateQ is the end product as NADH formed in glycolysis is reoxidized by reducing pyruvate to lactate.Fermentation in yeast & some other microorganismsEthanolQ is the end product as pyruvate is decarboxylated & reduced into it
