A fermentation pathway is one of the paths that cellular respiration can take. Cellular respiration that uses oxygen is aerobic and thus completely breaks down glucose using the Kreb's cycle, electon transport chain, and ATP synthetase. Cellular respiration that does not use oxygen is anaerobic and has two possibilities in cells.....1.) the production of lactic acid as in the human body or 2.) fermentation as in bacteria. This can be used to make a variety of alcoholic products, cheese, bread...as in yeast, and a variety of other food products. Glucose begins to break down and ceases to break down any further than a 3 carbon chain....2 of them actually.

What respiration pathway do glycolysis products enter if no oxygen is present in cells?
Aerobic Respiration pathway
Which metabolic pathway is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation?
The glycolytic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration. During the course of the metabolic pathway, glucose is broken down to pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen, the pyruvate molecule becomes involved in the TCA cycle. In the absence of oxygen however, fermentation occures. The process is brought about by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.
What is the value of the alcoholic fermentation pathway?
it replenishes NAD+ so that glycolysis can produce ATP
Which process is not part of cellular respiration pathway that produces large amounts od ATP in a cell?
fermentation
What bacteria carrying out the fermentation of a glucose molecule?
Lots of bacteria ferment glucose! Anaerobes ferment it and also facultative anaerobes. One type is E. coli...
Is a biochemical pathway of cellular respiration that is anaerobic?
Fermentation
When an organic product such as pyruvic acid is the final electron acceptor in the metabolic pathway the pathway is termed?
fermentation

How does fer-mention allow glycolysis to continue?
Glycolysis is followed by a different pathway. The combined process of pathway and glycolysis is called fermentation.
What is the value of the alcoholic fermentation pathway?
it replenishes NAD+ so that glycolysis can produce ATP
The first forms of life that produced ATP probably used pathways similar to what?
ATP/CP Pathway, Glycolytic Pathway, Oxidative Pathway
What pathway is used to make energy when no oxygen is present?
Fermentation other wise known as anaerobic.
1 The anaerobic pathway that follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen is fermentation -- True or false?
true
What is the main purpose of fermentation reactions?
Fermentation is a pathway used under anaerobic conditions. It is needed to produce ATP when there is no oxygen present.
Which process is not part of cellular respiration pathway that produces large amounts od ATP in a cell?
fermentation
Describe a pathway used for degradation of carbohydrates?
This is called the glycolysis pathway. It begins with glucose and ends with pyruvate before entering the Krebs cycle where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is generated for energy.
