Terminal Electron Acceptor In Lactic Acid Fermentation

True/False

In lactic acid fermentation the terminal electron acceptor is pyruvate: This statement is true

Explanation:

In lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid. Thus acts as the final electron acceptor.

In alcohol fermentation the terminal electron acceptor is acetaldehyde.

In fermentation, energy is stored in pyruvate that is not available to the cell and in cellular respiration the final electron acceptor is oxygen.
