How much ATP does lactic acid fermentation produce?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the amount of ATP produced during the process of lactic acid fermentation, which is a biological process that occurs in some organisms to generate energy under anaerobic conditions.

Answer

2 ATP

The final answer is 2 ATP

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 2 ATP

More Information

During lactic acid fermentation, glucose is converted into two lactate molecules and the energy yield is 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. This process is anaerobic, meaning it does not require oxygen.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the ATP yield of lactic acid fermentation with that of aerobic respiration, which is much higher.
