Ethanol and Lactic Acid Fermentation
A type of cellular respiration that happens when there is no final electron acceptor. Depending on the organism, ethanol or lactic acid will be produced. It is less efficient than aerobic respiration, but it still creates energy for the cell.

Why is yoghurt made at 37 degrees?

Which sequences best best summarizes lactic acid fermentation?
Asked by Wiki User
Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of energy rich molecules without sufficient quantities of oxygen present. Lactic acid fermentation is C6H12O6 (glucose) yields 2CH3CH(OH)CO2H (lactic acid).
When bacteria perform fermentation what waste product is formed?
Asked by BreanneMedranogp3591
It depends on the type of substrate used; in alcohol or ethanol fermentation carbon dioxide is produced as byproduct. whereas in case of baker yeast CO2 is the sole product!
How are lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation different?
Asked by Wiki User
alcohol is stronger
What is fermentation products?
Asked by Wiki User
Fermentation is the process of using microorganisms to transform one product into another. The microorganisms converts the carbohydrates into other products, depending on what is used.
Some examples of fermentation are:
- Cabbage turned into kimchi
- Grapes turned into wine
- Milk into yogurt
- Dough into sourdough
What are the two main types of lactic acid?
Asked by Wiki User
Lactic acid has two optical isomers: L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid.
