Why would an organism utilize alcohol fermentation if it is wasteful of the energy in food molecules and poses a threat of death due to high levels of toxic alcohol? A) The organism can survive short spells of anaerobic conditions and maintain growth and reproduction B) If glucose levels are not high, there may be time to eliminate the alcohol "waste" C) Fermentation can provide a rapid burst of ATP since it does not have to go through the full breakdown process D) Alcohol fermentation represents an adaptation that allow organisms to survive in environments with variable oxygen availability E) All of the choices are real advantages of alcohol fermentation
