CK12 Fermentation

What uses lactic acid fermentation?

bacteria in yogurt and your muscles

What is alcoholic fermentation?

-pyruvate changes to alcohol and CO2 -NAD+ forms from NADH which allows glycolysis to continue making ATP

What is lactic acid fermentation?

-pyruvate from glycolysis changes to lactic acid -NAD+ forms from NADH to let glycolysis continue -results in more ATP molecules

Explain lactic acid fermentation in muscles.

-your muscles use lactic acid fermentation for energy -lactic acid builds up and it causes you to be sore

What is the main advantage of aerobic respiration? Of anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration: it has anaerobic as a backup/ Anaerobic respiration: you can make ATP without oxygen

What is fermentation?

Fermentation is a way to make ATP without respiration. It happens to keep glycolysis going.

Name two types of fermentation.

Lactic acid and alcohol fermentation

What process produces fuel for motor vehicles from living plant products? What is the waste product of this process?

The process of alcoholic fermentation produces fuel from plants. The waste products are alcohol, CO2, and ethanol.

What type of respiration is fermentation?

anaerobic

What is alcoholic fermentation used by and what does it make?

used by yeasts and bacteria and makes wine, bread, and biofuels
