Lactic Acid Fermentation
- Electrons are released during glycolysis are passed to provide to pyruvic acid to form two molecules of lactic acid.
- Carried out by many bacteria, most notably by lactic acid bacteria.
- Used for a quick burst of energy.
Alcohol Fermentation
- Begins with glycolysis to produce two molecules of pyruvic acid, two molecules of ATP and four electrons.
- Carried out by many bacterial and yeasts.
- Used for energy.

Do cells make ethanol as a waste of cellular respiration?
No, ethanol is a byproduct of fermentation...not aerobic or anaerobic respiration
Process used to make bread rise lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation?
alcohol fermentation -- the ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide are produced by the yeast.
What does fermentation make in humans?
Lactic acid
How do you make ethanol gas?
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
What causes a form of alcoholic fermentation?
Yeast has the ability to cause a form of alcoholic fermentation. This is what is used to make the bread dough to rise and it produces ethanol.
Which organisms perform Fermentation?
Yeast cells and some types of bacteria make ethanol and carbon dioxide. Other types of bacteria produce lactic acid. Humans can also carry out fermentation in muscle cells when there is a lack of oxygen in the muscles. Hope this helps!
What is the chemical process that results in alcohol production in winemaking and brewing beer?
The Ethyl alcohol (or ethanol) in wine and beer is the product from alcohol fermentation, where yeast convert the sugars into ethanol, commonly known as ethyl alcohol, and carbon dioxide (as a by-product).Cheers:)VinoEnology.com
What is the difference between ethanol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation?
lactic acid fermentation, is an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound. Alcoholic fermentation, is to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol.
How is yeast used in the fermentation process?
Yeast is used to convert natural sugars into alcohol (ethanol). As a by porduct it also produces CO2 which can be used to make drinks fizzy. For example champagne, where the final fermentation is undertaken within the bottle.
What occurs during fermentation?
Decrease in NADH, pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide and acetylaldehyde, NADH is oxidized to NAD+, and acetylaldehyde is reduced to make ethanol.
How does lactic acid fermentation affect humans?
It can make that person lactic acid fermentation which is basically like when someone is allergic to wheat, they can't eat certain foods.
What does fermentation do to grape juice?
Fermentation is basically when yeast grows on the SKIN of grapes. When the skin is broken down, the yeast feeds on the glucose ( which is in the grape juice ) which turns it into ethanol ( alcohol ) BUT and the SAME time it makes carbon dioxide. This is used in wine making, so it doesn't do anything to the grape juice, but it helps make it after the ethanol is taken out and the rest is purified.
