Fermentation refers to catabolic processes where organic molecules, such as sugars or amino acids, are broken down to produce energy without the use of a membrane-bound electron transport chain. Depending upon the organism, fermentation can occur in the presence (aerobic) and/or in the absence (anaerobic) of oxygen. Fermentation pathways produce byproducts such as carbon dioxide, ethanol (alcohol), or organic acids (lactic acid or acetic acid, for example). Yeast cells can ferment sugar and in the process produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. Lactobacillusbacteria can ferment the sugar lactose and produce lactic acid; this is how yogurt is made. Wine vinegar is produced by bacteria that ferment the sugars in grape juice and produce acetic acid. Fermentation is sometimes called anaerobic respiration, but microbiologists disagree with this usage. The term respiration refers to energy-yielding metabolic processes that involve a membrane-bound electron transport chain.
The chemical resulting from fermentation of various kinds of vegetable matter is primarily ethanol (alcohol). However, other byproducts such as acetic acid, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide may also be produced depending on the specific type of fermentation and the microorganisms involved.
alcohol and co2
Fermentation is the process of converting sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. This process requires the action of enzymes, typically contained in yeasts.
The equation for fermentation of the simple sugars to alcohol are, Sugar (glucose) yields alcohol (Ethyl alcohol) + CO2 (g) + energy.
Electron transport chains
The electron transport chain makes the most ATP. It is the slowest of all processes, but makes 32 ATP.
aerobic respiration: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain anaerobic respiration: glycolysis, fermentation (lactic acid or alcohol)
Your question doesn't make sense, as alcohol is a compound which is made through fermentation. It is not 'used' in vodka, the alcohol is created during the fermentation process involved in making the Vodka. Vodka is made by fermenting and distilling potato juice.
Yes, it is required for the lactic acid cycle of respiration where alcohol is produced. This process yields alcohol as a byproduct and that is what we call fermentation.
Water is a by-product when it is produced through fermentation,so it is Evolved in the production not Involved
_______ is the formation of alcohol from sugar. Answer Lactic acid fermentation Glycolysis Yeast Alcoholic fermentation
