Fermentation is a naturally occurring process, being the conversion of sugars to alcohol through the help of our little animal friends yeast, who eat the sugars and one byproduct is alcohol. We don't know who discovered that the process occurs, but we know that fermented beverages (especially beer and wine) have been around for thousands of years.
What else can I help you with?
What conditions leads to fermintation?
lack of oxygen
What is the starting material in th lactic acid fermintation?
Glucose
Why does gum blow big bubbles?
Fermintation by fungus.
Lactic acid fermintation?
Definiton= the anaerobic production of lactic acid from glucose.
The air bubbles and spongy texture of bread or do to which process?
Alcoholic fermintationAlcoholic fermintation
Where does the process of fermintation takes place?
In making wine from grapes and beer from barley
What is the end product of fermintation?
The main product is ATP. ethanol also produced as a bi product
What are the 2 types of fementation?
Alcaholic Fermination:*Pyruvic acid is converted to carbon dioxide and alcahol*Used to make bread, wine, beer, and ethenol.*bacteria and yeast.Lactic Acid Fermination:*Pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid.*Occurs in animal cells-A build-up of lactic acid causes muscle fatique and soreness
Whats is the formula for fermintation?
The formula is glucose (C6H12O6)= 2 C2H5OH (alchohol) + CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Does fermintation occur in order to release enery from the original glucose molecule?
It can, yes, if there is insufficient oxygen in the tissue.
What is the process of releasing energy in cells without using oxygen?
This is the process of anaerobic respiration. Glycolisis/fermintation.
The two main types of fermintation are called?
lactate fermentation (build up of lactic acid) and alcoholic fermentation (produces ethanol)
