Yeasts do a kind of anaerobic respiration called?

Yeast use fermentation (alcoholic fermentation). This produces carbon dioxide, alcohol, and some energy.


Which sugar is used in alcoholic fermentation?

Glucose. (However, just about any kind of monosaccharide can be converted to glucose in living organisms.)


What kind of fermentation is important to bakers?

Yeast, most commonly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as the carbon dioxide forms pockets or bubbles. Brewer's yeast (also known as brewing yeast) can mean any live yeast used in brewing. It can also mean yeast obtained as a by-product of brewing, dried and killed, and used as a dietary supplement for its B vitamin content.


What kind of respiration produces lactic acid?

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid. This type of respiration occurs when oxygen is not readily available, leading to the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.


In what kind of environment would you expect to find organisms that carry out fermentation?

in an environment where there is little or no oxygen. aerobic respiration requires oxygen ad when it is not present fermentaion (anaerobic respiration) occurs because it works when oxygen isn't there


What kind of substances do bacteria consume to get energy?

Bacteria can consume a variety of organic and inorganic substances to get energy, including sugars, proteins, fats, and even some chemicals. They can also undergo processes like fermentation or respiration to extract the energy stored in these substances.


How is fermentation and lactic acid production similar and different?

There are two main types of fermentation. One kind, things like yeast do, releases Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) and the other kind, our muscle cells do, releases lactic acid. Fermentation is anaerobic respiration and lactic acid is a product.


What happens to muscles when there is not enough oxygen?

oxygen debt. more oxygen is needed than what is being supplied. the body then begins anaerobic respiration (the cells "breathe" for you). a result of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid. lactic acid is that soreness feeling you get after a hard workout


What do yeasts produce during fermentation?

Yeasts produce ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide during fermentation. Ethanol is the primary product, which is used in the production of alcoholic beverages, while carbon dioxide is a byproduct that gives rise to bubbles in beverages like beer and sparkling wine.


What kind of alcohol is in alcoholic thermometers?

methanol


What kind of respiration does a arachnid have?

What kind of bacteria does not need oxygen to live?

Anaerobic bacteria do not require oxygen to live. They are able to generate energy from sources other than oxygen, such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Some examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Bacteroides.
