Fermentation the process of producing ATPs without the presence of oxygen.

2 types of fermentation: Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

Alcohol fermentation: Some types of yeast, for instance, will produce lots of ATP and carbon dioxide if they have plenty of oxygen, but if they lack oxygen, then they produce alcohol instead of lactic acid.

What substance is used during fermentation of glucose during the anaerobic?

During anaerobic fermentation of glucose, the primary substance produced is ethanol in alcoholic fermentation, or lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation. In both processes, glucose is converted into energy, releasing byproducts such as carbon dioxide and either ethanol or lactic acid, depending on the organism involved. Yeasts typically perform alcoholic fermentation, while certain bacteria and muscle cells in animals carry out lactic acid fermentation.


Fermentation in yeast can produce ATP from sugar anaerobically without using any?

Fermentation releases energy without using oxygen


Where do glycolisis end?

Glycolysis ends with the production of pyruvate from glucose. Pyruvate can then either continue on to the citric acid cycle in aerobic conditions or undergo fermentation in anaerobic conditions to produce lactate or ethanol.


When During fermentation glucose is incompletely broken down to form?

During fermentation, glucose is incompletely broken down to form either ethanol (alcohol fermentation) or lactic acid (lactic acid fermentation) in order to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.


What does fermentation always produce?

It always produces NAD+ out of NADH, because that's the main reason why micro-organisms ferment. Besides that, the other products that are being formed depend on which type of fermentation, although you could say that an acid is always formed as well (but depending on the type, the amount of acid might be very small).

Fermentation in chemiosmosis?

Chemiosmosis is the process of hydrogen ions passing through a membrane such as the thylakoid. This process occurs from a high to low concentration. 1) During the light reaction in the thylakoid membrane hydrogen ions pass through the thylakoid to prodcue energy and help ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and Phosphate group) synthesize to form ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).


What products are produced through fermentation by naturally occurring organisms?

Fermentation can either produce Ethyl Alcohol or Lactic Acid, it just depends on what organism you are talking about

The plural of yeast may be either yeast or yeasts.


Can alcohol be made from any glucose source?

Yes, alcohol can be made from any sugar source that can be fermented by yeasts, including glucose from various sources such as fruit, grains, or vegetables. The glucose is converted into alcohol through the process of fermentation.


How do you get ATP?

through either cellular respiration or fermentation


What is formed during fermentation either ethy1 alcohol and carbon dioxide?

During fermentation, yeast cells break down sugars to produce ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and carbon dioxide as byproducts. This process is used in various industries to produce alcoholic beverages like wine and beer.


The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy without using oxygen?

Anerobic


The energy releasing process that does not require oxygen is called what?

either fermentation or respiration maybe...


Why is fermentation considered biotechnology?

When one ferments bacteria, yeast, or eukaryotic cells for whatever the purpose may be, one uses technology. Typically "fermentation" refers to using fermenters which are mechanical pieces of equipment that are often computer controlled. So bio + technology = biotechnology. Cultivation or culturing or tissue culturing is used to mean more broadly "growing cells". This can be done through fermentation or by other methods like plating or using shake flasks.Also, fermentation doesn't have to be for the purpose of producing ethanol. One can produce proteins or even a variety of chemicals in living organisms that either produce them naturally or that have been molecularly engineered to do so.


When was fermentation discovered?

It was probably discovered when either wine or bread was first made.
