Explanation / Answer

48. Answer: C) Pyruvic acid or pyruvate

Fermentation is the process that takes place in the absence of oxygen, where, organic molecules would be used as the final electron acceptor in the process. There would not be presence of the electron transport system. Lactic acidosis will be the end product, and thus will not be acting as the electron acceptor. NADH will be converted to NAD+ one reaction with pyruvate, to yield lactic acid.
