Answer
A
Lactic acid fermentation may occur.
B
Cells covert pyruvic acid into lactic acid.
C
NADH is converted to NAD+.
D
No additional ATP is produced after glycolysis.
E
Alcohol fermentation may occur.
F
Cells convert pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and alcohol.

Explanation

All six statements describe fermentation. In lactic acid fermentation, cells convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid, and NADH is converted back to NAD+. In alcohol fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted to carbon dioxide and alcohol. Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue but does not produce additional ATP beyond the ATP made during glycolysis.
