A cell can generate ATP through either aerobic respiration or fermentation. During aerobic respiration, NADH is generated and then recycled back to NAD+ through the electron transport chain. In fermentation, NADH is also recycled back to NAD+ through other pathways like lactic acid fermentation or alcohol fermentation.
Lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation differ primarily in their end products and the organisms that typically perform them. Lactic acid fermentation, carried out by certain bacteria and animal cells, produces lactic acid as its main byproduct, while alcohol fermentation, performed by yeast and some bacteria, generates ethanol and carbon dioxide. Additionally, lactic acid fermentation occurs in environments with low oxygen levels, while alcohol fermentation is often associated with anaerobic conditions. These differences reflect the distinct metabolic pathways and ecological roles of the organisms involved.
The chemical resulting from fermentation of various kinds of vegetable matter is primarily ethanol (alcohol). However, other byproducts such as acetic acid, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide may also be produced depending on the specific type of fermentation and the microorganisms involved.
A hypothesis for alcohol fermentation could be: "If yeast is provided with a sugar-rich environment and a lack of oxygen, then it will convert the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the process of fermentation."
The equation for fermentation of the simple sugars to alcohol are, Sugar (glucose) yields alcohol (Ethyl alcohol) + CO2 (g) + energy.
The majority of ATP molecules are produced through oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria during cellular respiration. This process involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, which generate ATP from the energy released by the flow of electrons.

In fermentation, NADH is also recycled back to NAD+ through other pathways like lactic acid fermentation or alcohol fermentation.
Your question doesn't make sense, as alcohol is a compound which is made through fermentation. It is not 'used' in vodka, the alcohol is created during the fermentation process involved in making the Vodka. Vodka is made by fermenting and distilling potato juice.

Baking soda does not play a direct role in the fermentation of alcohol. In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Baking soda can be used to neutralize acidity in a fermentation process, but it is not a key component in alcohol fermentation.
Yes, it is required for the lactic acid cycle of respiration where alcohol is produced. This process yields alcohol as a byproduct and that is what we call fermentation.
Water is a by-product when it is produced through fermentation,so it is Evolved in the production not Involved

One way lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation are different is the end products they produce. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, while alcohol fermentation produces ethanol.
alcohol fermentation -- the ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide are produced by the yeast.
