Imagine a severe lack of rainfall for several months in a pond ecosystem. Eventually, the pond grass near the
2. pond dies. Explain what might happen to the different
organisms that live in the pond ecosystem (such as algae,
snails, mosquitoes, and fish).

How does the fermentation of pyruvic acid in cells contribute to the formation of atp? a. it completes the oxidation of glucose to co2, creating atp. b. it generates lactic acid, which cycles back through the krebs cycle, producing 2 atp molecules. c. it converts fadh2 to phosphate, which bonds with adp. d. it produces 2 nad+ molecules, which cycle back to fuel the glycolysis reaction, allowing 2 atp molecules to be produced.
