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.

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


Ethyl alcohol fermentation breaks down glucose into what two products?

the products of ethanol fermentation are ethnol and CO2


Definition of submerged fermentation?

Submerged fermentation is a type of fermentation process where microorganisms grow and produce desired products in a liquid medium. This method is commonly used in industrial settings for producing various products like antibiotics, enzymes, and organic acids. The microorganisms are fully submerged in the liquid medium, as opposed to solid-state fermentation where they grow on the surface of a solid substrate.


What is the waste product of alcohol fermentation?

Lactic acid, alcohol, and carbon dioxide are waste products of fermentation.


What is the end product to fermentation and cellular respiration?

The end products of fermentation are lactic acid, ethanol, and carbon dioxide. In cellular respiration, the end products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).
