Dallas Avila · Answer 2

Of the following given choices;

A. cell-to-cell communication

B. DNA synthesis

C. protein synthesis

D. fermentation

The answer is; D

It is basically called lactic acid fermentation. Glucose first processed in the first stages of the process of glycolysis to produce pyruvate. The proceeding stages depend on whether oxygen is present or not. When oxygen is pr3esent, the pyruvate is channeled to the Krebs cycle. When oxygen is absent, the pyruvate is converted to lactate.
