How does fermentation compensate for the lack of oxygen in terms of electron acceptors?
- Fermentation creates an alternative pathway for NADH to be recycled back into NAD+.
- Fermentation prevents glucose from being completely oxidized so the number of electrons is limited.
- Fermentation creates carbon dioxide to serve as the final electron acceptor during the Kreb's cycle.
- Fermentation can oxidize many other substances even without the presence of oxygen.
