During fermentation NADH reacts with pyruvic acid by passing high-energy electrons back to pyruvic acid. This action converts NADH back into the electron carrier NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue producing a steady supply of ATP.

What are the two types of anaerobic respiration?

The two types of anaerobic respiration are lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise, while alcoholic fermentation is used by microbes like yeast to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.


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 2 types of fermentation and what do each produce?

The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation is also referred to as ethanol fermentation.


Two different types of fermentation?

Fermentation is sometimes known as anaerobic respiration - because it usually occurs in the absence of oxygen. However, fermentation is the extraction of energy by oxidation of organic compounds. It does not necessarily have to occur in anaerobic conditions.


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 fermentation in yeast what 2 waste compounds are made in addition to ATP?

During fermentation in yeast, in addition to ATP, two waste compounds produced are ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. These byproducts are produced as a result of the anaerobic breakdown of sugar.


How can you tell if two compounds will mix or react?

You can tell if two compounds will react by looking at the solubility rules. If a reaction were to happen it would make HNO3 and Na2SO4.
