ALCHOLIC FERMENTATION:-

It occurs in bacteria,yeast etc. In this type of anaerobic resipiration pyruvic acid is further broken down into alcohol.

Lactic fermentation:-

It occurs in skeletal muscles of humans and other animals during extreme physical activities (when oxygen supply is not sufficent) and in bacteria present in milk. In lactic acid fermentation pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.This process is involved in the production of yogurt.

Lactose fermentation is a process that converts sugar into lactic acid. This is usually done in yogurt giving it a sour taste.

glucose firstly converts into pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid or pyruvate is further reduced to lactic acid. Here no evolution of CO2 takes place
