The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links).
However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol).
* This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.

Where in the body does alcohol fermentation occur?
Alcoholic Fermentation does not occur in human bodies but rather in plant cells when they do not receive adequate amounts of the necessary amounts of nutrients and minerals. Lactic fermentation however occurs in human cells located in the cytoplasm after glycolysis.
Facultative anaerobes can switch between cellular respiration and?
Capable of switching to fermentation
Describe the relationship between mass and weight?
Describe the relationship between mass and weight.
2 types of fermentation?
Two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcohol fermentation is the process in which 2 pyruvate molecules ,created by the means of glycosis, is further broken down into 2 ethanol molecules through alcohol fermentation. Lactic-acid fermentation is when the pyruvate molecules formed from glycosis is reduced to 2 lactate molecules.
The relationship between living organisms in the aquatic environment?
what is the relationship between living organisms in the aqatic environment
What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?
The process is Glycolysis!
What is difference between glycolysis and fermentation?
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is part of aerobic respiration. The pathways for both processes, however, are almost identical to each other.
What conditions enable glycolysis to continue during fermentation?
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue as long as the glucose supply lasts. Glycolysis enables the fermentation to continues under an anaerobic conditions.
How is fermentation in the production of ATP?
Glycolysis
How many ATP molecules does fermentation produce during cellular respiration?
fermentation follows glycolysis, glycolysis will use 2ATP to produce 4ATP; Fermentation only aids in the process by producing NAD+ which is needed by glycolysis to produce ATP
What event occurs in the cytosol of a cell undergoing glucose metabolism?
the answer is glycolysis
What metabolic stage is part of both fermentation and cellular respiration?
glycolysis
What molecules made during the later steps in fermentation is used in glycolysis?
Pyruvic acid is made during glycolysis and is later used in fermentation.
What is the prupose of fermentation?
to enabe glycolysis to continue
How is fermentation involved the production of ATP?
Glycolysis
What happened when no oxygen is present after glycolysis?
fermentation
What happens when oxygen is present after glycolysis?
