Temperatures in excess of 40oC will denature the enzymes (proteins) in the yeast, which makes them

inactive.

What kind of fermentation occurs in the muscle tissue of animals?

muscle cell do not undergo fermentation but anaerobic respiration which is the incomplete break down of glucose to energy and lattic acid; fermentation only occur in plant or anaerobic bacteria such as yeast.


What is the process that release energy when oxygen is insufficient?

ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION is how the cells produce ATP when no oxygen is present: Anaerobic (fermentation) vs. Aerobic Respiration i. Without oxygen to accept electrons in the electron transport chain, most of cellular respiration stops. ii. Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. iii. In glycolysis, glucose is oxidized to two pyruvate molecules with NAD+ being reduced to NADH. iv. Pyruvate then accepts electrons from NADH, oxidizing it back to NAD+. The NAD+ is then available to oxidize more glucose. v. Because the pyruvate does not enter the Krebs cycle, there is still a lot of energy which is not removed from the fuel. This is evident in yeast fermentation where the end product is alcohol - a high energy fuel. vi. Human muscle cells switch from aerobic respiration to lactic acid fermentation to generate ATP when O2 is scarce. When O2 is absent, the ETC stops; therefore pyruvate accepts electrons, forming lactic acid. This waste product causes muscle fatigue and cramping, but it is eventually converted back to pyruvate in the liver. vii. Under aerobic respiration, a molecule of glucose yields 36-38 ATP, but the same molecule of glucose yields only 2 ATP under anaerobic respiration. Hope this helps. it is a section out of my biology notes. If it doesnt, google Anaerobic respiration and wiki will give you a good answer


How does fermentation enable glycosis to continue producing ATP?

During fermentation, cells convert NADH to NAD+ 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.


Why do high temperatures have a higher absorbance than ethanol?

Ethanol is known to have a lower absorbance, in comparison to high temperatures, and this is base on ethanol chemical structure.


What metabolic pathway is common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown?

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.

anaerobic :P


What happens to cacao beans during the fermentation process?

The cacao beans' own enzymes and wild yeast will cause fermentation for two to nine days while they are spread out on trays. Fermentation causes the bean flavor. After this stage the beans are then graded, bagged, and sent to processing.


Does California have high temperatures?

California's Death Valley holds the record high temperature record for the Western Hemisphere at 1340 F however most of California has a more suitable weather pattern.


Does alcohol contain oxygen?

Strictly speaking, no, fermentation is the result of anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration of sugar by yeast. But its more complicated than that... Yeast requires oxygen for a number of processes essential for reproduction. Most fermentations involve the initial introduction of oxygen to ensure a strong yeast colony is established. And brewers yeast will ferment without using oxygen even if oxygen is available. Alcohol is toxic to many other organisms (and in high enough concentrations to yeast as well) and by converting sugar to alcohol it can prevent other organisms from getting established.


Processes involved in anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic Glycolysis occurs in our muscle cells during high intensity physical activity and the system last up to 3 minutes. Glycolysis is the break down of sugar

What is fermentation?

Fermentation is the process by which cells release energy (ATP) under anaerobic conditions . Several major products of fermentation are ethanol, lactic acid, and hydrogen gas. Fermentation of sugars by yeast is typically used as the source of ethanol for alcoholic beverages.During glycolysis it makes a net amount of 2 molecules of ATP (energy). Fermentation happens anaerobically (without oxygen) and the reduction of pyruvate into lactate itself does not yield any energy (ATP).The chemical breakdown of a substance, by bacteria,yeast, or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off heat*The process of Fermentation involves the making of beer,wine,and liquor, in which sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol.*(archaic)agitation; excitement("I found Paris in high fermentation")
