Difference between oxidation and fermentation?
Oxidization occurs when oxygen is present and two or more substances interact, and one losses an electron. In anaerobic situations (when oxygen is not present) fermentation occurs. Fermentation derives energy (ATP) from compounds that are being oxidized.
Does fermentation releases lactic acid?
Your muscle cells do when you preform lactic acid fermentation.
What is the purpose of mineral oil in oxidation-fermentation test?
Mineral oil is used in the oxidation-fermentation test to create an anaerobic environment for the fermentation reactions to occur. By adding a layer of mineral oil on top of the medium, oxygen is prevented from entering the test tubes, allowing for accurate detection of fermentation patterns based on the utilization of carbohydrates.
1.)Why are methods of anaerobic respiration such as fermentation less efficient than aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration is more efficient than fermentation. Cellular respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules, while fermentation produces only 2 ATP, which is a significant loss in usable energy.
What are three chemical processes that were used by people in early societies?
Oxidation (burning), fermentation (making beer), and denaturation of proteins (cooking) are three. There are lots more.
What is carbohydrate oxidation?
Carbohydrate oxidation is the burning of extra carbs.
What is the advantages of oxidation of carbohydrate?
what is advantages oxidation of carbohydrates?
What is fermentation used for?
fermentation is used to convert sugar into alcohols...deriving energy from oxidation of organic compounds
Is fermentation an oxidation or a reduction process?
Fermentation is not considered as an oxydation reaction. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It may not usually be considered as such, but the oxidation state of C in sugar is zero, and the oxidation state of C in ethanol is -2. Any change in oxidation state can be treated as a redox process. Loss of electrons (or an increase of oxidation state) is oxidation, gain of electrons (or a decrease of oxidation state) is reduction. The carbon that ends up in the ethanol has decreased its oxidation state from 0 to -2 so those atoms have undergone reduction. Reduction cannot exist without a subsequent oxidation, so something else has undergone oxidation. The fermentation process also makes carbon dioxide. The C in those molecules has an oxidation state of +4, so those atoms of carbon have been oxidized. So the answer is --- both.
Difference between oxidation and fermentation?

What is fermentation the opposite of?
There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).
Fermentation occurs in the absence of?
Basically Fermentation is an Anaerobic respiration (i.e. Oxidation of energy compounds in the absence of oxygen).That means the answer to your question is 'oxygen'.
Does fermentation releases lactic acid?
Your muscle cells do when you preform lactic acid fermentation.

How Cellular respiration and fermentation different?
for cellular respiration a process of oxidation takes place at some stage (aerobic) while in fermentation it is in abscence of oxygen(anaerobic)
What other acid can form acetic acid?
Acetic acid can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol or by the fermentation of sugars in the presence of certain bacteria.
Which is NOT a pathway in the oxidation of glucose?
Glycolysis is NOT a pathway in the oxidation of glucose. Glycolysis is actually the first step in the breakdown of glucose and serves to produce pyruvate, which can then enter either the aerobic citric acid cycle or anaerobic fermentation pathways for further oxidation.
