What are two of the products of fermentation?

Alcohol fermentation is done by yeast and some kinds of bacteria. These microorganisms convert sugars in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell. Humans have long taken advantage of this process in making bread, beer, and wine. In these three product the same microorganism is used: the common yeast or Saccharomyces Cerevisae.

What is the chemical equation for cellular repiration and what is the process needed for?

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells release energy from food and store it in molecules of ATP. The overall chemical equation for aerobic cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O.

How do the overall equations for these processess indicate that fermentation is anaerobic and that cellular respiration is aerobic?

The overall equation for (one of the many fermentations which is probably considered the simplest called lactic acid) fermentation is: C6H12O6->2CH3CHOHCOOH or one molecule of water and lactose produces four lactic acid molecules. These processes are the homolactic fermentation. The heterolactic fermentation is : C6H12O6-> CH3CHOHCOOH + C2H5OH +CO2 aerobic respiration proceeds as follows: C6H12O6 + O6 (g) -> 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + energy (heat) This reaction is spontaneous due to the change in G, or Gibb's free energy. The anaerobic process is simply an aerobic respiration using another redox chemical in the place of Oxygen.
