What are some similarities and differences between alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation?

In both the cases you get biological oxidation to get the pyruvate. In case of the yeast, you have got oxygen available. So you get one carbon bi oxide molecule out and the C 2 H 5 OH out. That is ethyl alcohol molecule out. In case of the Lactic acid, you have less of the oxygen available. So here you get C 3 H 6 O 3. This occurs in the muscle cells in rigorous exercise, in the absence of oxygen. Like when you run fast for 100 meter race.

∙ 13y agoalcoholic fermentation:-
pyruvic acid + NADH ------> alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
lactic acid fermentation:-
pyruvic acid + NADH ------> lactic acid + NAD+

However, they obviously have different end products.

Distinguish between the products of the two types of fermentation discussed in this section?
There are two types of fermentation ususally studied in Biology: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis. In alcoholic fermentation, the major products are alcohol and carbon dioxide. In lactic acid fermentation, the major product is lactic acid. For both types of fermentation, there is a side product: NAD+ which is recycled back to glycolysis so that small amounts of ATP can continue to be produced in the absence of oxygen. Im a beast
What are the similarities and differences between arobic ressperation and anarobic respiration?
there is no similarities while there are some differences 1: aerobic respiration contain oxygen while anarobic did't
Differences between fermentation and respiration?
one uses oxygen to get energy and the other uses yeast!Fermentation does not need oxygen. Aerobic respiration need oxygen

What are the similarities and differences between fermentation cellular respiration?
Question ispartiallywrong as fermentation is part of cellular respiration, question should be about similarities and differences in aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Cellular respiration is comprised of 3 stages , 1 glycolysis , 2 Krebs cycle and 3 electron transport chain .Fermentation is approximately similar to glycolysis except last step .
