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.
Glucose
Definiton= the anaerobic production of lactic acid from glucose.
The formula is glucose (C6H12O6)= 2 C2H5OH (alchohol) + CO2 (carbon dioxide).
It can, yes, if there is insufficient oxygen in the tissue.
Potassium is the mineral involved in the regulation of glucose uptake.
Cellular respiration produces the most ATP compared to photosynthesis and fermentation processes. In aerobic cellular respiration, up to 36-38 ATP molecules can be generated from one glucose molecule, while photosynthesis primarily captures energy in the form of glucose rather than directly producing ATP. Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation yield only about 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Thus, cellular respiration is the most efficient in ATP production.
lack of oxygen
Some abbreviations for enzymes involved in the breakdown of glucose are HK (hexokinase), GK (glucokinase), PFK (phosphofructokinase), PK (pyruvate kinase), and G6Pase (glucose-6-phosphatase).
The reactants in fermentation are typically sugar molecules, such as glucose or sucrose, along with yeast or certain bacteria that act as catalysts to break down the sugars into alcohol or acids. These microorganisms convert the sugars into energy in the absence of oxygen through a process known as anaerobic respiration.
enzymatic hydrolysis
Glucose is the "fuel" for muscles.
Estrogen is a hormone not directly involved in glucose metabolism. It plays a role in reproductive functions and has other physiological effects, but it does not play a direct role in regulating blood sugar levels or glucose utilization.
