Imagine there are two different cells, cell a and cell b. explain why lactic acid, carbon dioxide and only 2 atp are produced in cell a and carbon dioxide, water and up to 32 atp are produced in cell b. a) cell a is in an animal cell in an anaerobic environment and cell b is an animal cell in an aerobic environment b) cell a is an animal cell in an aerobic environment and cell b is an animal cell in an anaerobic environment c) cell a is a yeast cell in an anaerobic environment and cell b is an animal cell in an aerobic environment d) cell a is an animal cell in an aerobic environment and cell b is a yeast cell in an aerobic environment

The correct answer would be A)  cell A is in an animal cell in an anaerobic environment and cell B is an animal cell in an aerobic environment.

During lack or absence of oxygen, the animal cells undergo lactic acid fermentation. Under this process, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate with a net gain of 2 molecules of ATP and NADH each.

Then, pyruvate is converted into 2 molecules of lactic acid with the utilization of 2 NADH. It creates NAD⁺ lost during glycolysis and thus helps glycolysis to continue.  

Thus, the net gain of lactic acid fermentation is 2 ATP only. It is usually observed in muscle cells during exercise.

In contrast, under aerobic conditions glucose is fully oxidized (glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylation, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, and chemiosmosis) to produce carbon dioxide, water, and 36-38 ATP.

true is the

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
