What happens to a sample of matter when it undergoes a chemical change?
The reactants are transformed in products, substances with another type of molecules and properties.
An organism lives in a container with very little oxygen It produces ethanol and carbon dioxide as waste products Which process does it use to produce most of its ATP molecules?
The organism uses the process of alcohol fermentation to produce most of its ATP molecules.
What is additional reaction?
An addition reaction is when 1 molecule combines with another molecule and becomes 1 bigger molecule. There are no other products in this process; just the 2 molecules.
What are the reactants and products fermentation?
what are the reactants and products of fermentation and acetyl Co A formation
What are the products of lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?
Both alcohol and lactate fermentation enable cells to produce ATP without using oxygen; they are the anaerobic (lacking in oxygen) alternative to cellular respiration. This is because they are extensions of glycolysis that can generate ATP solely by substrate-level phosphorylation, specifically by regenerating NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate or pyruvate derivatives. NAD+ can then be reused in glycolysis to oxidize sugar. Remember that glycolysis uses two net molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation.Lactate fermentation, also known as lactic acid fermentation, occurs when NADH reduces pyruvate directly to form lactate as an end product, hence the name "lactate fermentation." More specifically, if one glucose molecule goes through glycolysis, 2 net ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules are produced and 2 NAD+ molecules are consumed. 2 NADH molecules and 2 H+ come and reduce the 2 pyruvate molecules, forming 2 lactate molecules and 2 NAD+. The 2 NAD+ molecules are then reused in glycolysis, enabling the cell to produce ATP even in the absence of oxygen. Lactate fermentation is used by some fungi and bacteria as well as in the dairy industry to produce yogurt in cheese. Another fun fact about lactate fermentation is that human muscle cells use lactate fermentation to make ATP when oxygen is scarce, such as during strenuous exercise. The resulting accumulation of lactate is partly what causes the muscle fatigue and pain that can result from exercise. But don't worry, the blood carries away the lactate to the liver where the lactate is converted back to pyruvate.Alcohol fermentation occurs when pyruvate is first converted to acetaldehyde, a 2-carbon compound, through the release of carbon dioxide from the pyruvate. Then, NADH reduces the acetaldehyde to ethanol. A more detailed look shows us that just like lactate fermentation, glycolysis produces 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate from one glucose molecule. However, unlike lactate fermentation, each pyruvate molecule releases a carbon dioxide, resulting in 2 carbon dioxide molecules and 2 acetaldehyde molecules (acetaldehyde = pyruvate - carbon dioxide). Then, similar to lactate fermentation 2 NADH and 2 H+ reduce the 2 acetaldehyde molecules, forming 2 ethanol molecules and 2 NAD+ and regenerating the supply of NAD+ needed to continue glycolysis. Alcohol fermentation is often used in bacteria in anaerobic conditions as well as in yeast. Interestingly, the carbon dioxide that is released in alcohol fermentation generated by a baker's yeast is what allows the bread to rise!

Describe anaerobic fermentation and its reactants and products?
Well, the reactants and products of anaerobic fermentation are called GO TO HIGHSCHOOL.
What are the reactants in animal fermentation?
Pyruvate and NADH because of the different strains and ways of metabolic , the products generated by different sorts are not same in which lactic acid fermentation is divided into 3 types ,the same type of lactic acid fermentation ,abnormal fermentation of lactic acid and bifidobecterium fermentation
What are the the products in photosynthesis?
The products of phosynthesis are: oxygen, glucose and water vapour.
What are the products of fermentation in plants and animals?
The products of plant fermentation are alcohol fermentation, ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, or lactic acid fermentation. No further energy is gained for the cell.
What are the Products of the Krebs cycle per molecule of pyruvate?
For one molecule of Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), 3 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.Also, the change from pyruvate to acetyl CoA produces one NADH and one carbon dioxide molecule; CoA is recycled in and out of the cycle.
What is meant by fermentation of dairy products?
Fermentation of dairy products means that they have "been spoiled" so gone "öff" or "turned sour".
