Starting with glycolysis, lactic acid and ethanol fermentation generate only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule. The remaining chemical energy from the glucose is found primarily in:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The remaining chemical energy from glucose, after glycolysis and either lactic acid or ethanol fermentation, is primarily stored in the products lactic acid and ethanol themselves. These fermentation processes do not fully oxidize glucose to carbon dioxide and water, leaving significant chemical energy in these organic molecules.
