Identify all correct statements about the basic function of fermentation. select all that apply. a. the basic function of fermentation is the production of additional atp by further oxidation of the products of glycolysis. b. the basic function of fermentation is the production of ethyl alcohol or lactic acid. c. the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of nad , which allows continued atp production by glycolysis.

The correct answer is option  c. "The basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis".

Explanation:

For bacteria, the basic function of fermentation is not the production of ATP or ethyl alcohol, the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+ , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis. Bacteria normally uses glycolysis for ATP production, it only undergoes fermentation in the absence of oxygen. During bacterial fermentation, a small organic compound as an electron acceptor is used for NADH and regenerates NAD+, this NAD+ is later used in glycolysis for ATP production.

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.
