Fermentation allows for GLYCOLYSIS to continue being made until OXYGEN is available. true or false?

if this statement is true, say true. if it is false, please fix the capitalized words in order to make it true. Thank You!Fermentation allows for GLYCOLYSIS to continue being made until OXYGEN is available. true or false?
No. Glycolysis allows ATP to continue to be made until oxygen is present.





The point of glycolysis in cellular respiration is produce ATP, or energy molecules for the cell. There are 2 ATP molecules made in glycolysis per molecule of glucose. Glucose is not being made, it is used in glycolysis to breakdown into pyruvate to produce ATP. If oxygen is present, then the pyruvate molecules will continue on to the Krebs cylce in cellular respiration. Otherwise, fermentation occurs, or the build up of lactic acid in animals and other multicellular organisms.Fermentation allows for GLYCOLYSIS to continue being made until OXYGEN is available. true or false?
False





It should read...





Fermenation allows ENERGY (or ATP) to continue being made untill oxygen is available.





(Glycolysis is the name of the fermentation that uses glucose to make energy or ATP.)





:)
true
