What is the purpose of the fermentation reactions after glycolysis?
Trick question: glycolysis is anaerobic fermentation resulting in lactic acid in animals, and ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants and fungi.
Is the Calvin cycle anabolic or catabolic?
Fermentation is usually used to refer to reactions which produce energy without using oxygen. These reactions involve the breakdown of food molecules eg glucose to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolic reactions, so fermentation is catabolic and not anabolic.Fermentation process does not produce any energy molecules, its purpose is to recover NAD's that were used in the Glycolysis to use them again in the next Glycolysis process. All Fermentation processes are the subset of a Catabolic reactions, although, their product do not include the release of energy as the other catabolic reactions do.Also, Fermentation is an Anaerobic Respiration, which happens only in the cells that can not undergo the Aerobic Respiration.
Why does pseudomonas give negative reactions on all the fermentations?
Pseudomonas is an aerobic organism and therefore does not undergo fermentation.
What are two types of fermentation and explain?
the two main types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. The two main types of fermentation are: 1.) Alcoholic fermentation 2.) Lactic acid fermentation
What is the main product of fermentation?
NAD+ and NADP+ are the mian products
What is the purpose of the fermentation reactions after glycolysis?

What is the main purpose of photosynthetic dark reactions?
cell wall
What is a product of both fermentation reactions and saponification reactions?
esters
What is the main purpose of reduction of pyruvate to lactate during fermentation?
The main purpose of pyruvate reduction to lactate during fermentation is to convert NADH to NAD plus. Early in the glycolysis process, you'll see that there's a step where NAD plus gets reduced to NADH, and then an ATP is produced.
What is the function of fermentation reactions?
to generate from , so glycolysis can continue
What are main types of fermenters?
Aerobic fermentation and anaerobic fermentation are two main types.
What are the two terms that are anaerobic chemical reactions?
Alcoholic fermentation Glycolysis
What product is common to reactions on cellular respiration and fermentation?
Carbon dioxide.
What product is common to reactions in the cellular respiration and fermentation?
Carbon dioxide
What product is common to reactions in cellular and fermentation?
ATP is common to both.
What is the purpose of yeast in fermentation?
yeast provides the enzyme zymase which catalyses the fermentation process.
What is the purpose of silage fermentation?
Silage fermentation helps in the lowering of the forage to a certain point.
