Ethanol Fermentation and what are the waste products of ethanol fermentation
After glycolysis the two pyruvates lose a carbon atom that combines with oxygen to create Co2. After this the pyruvate turns into Acetaldehyde, then Acetaldehyde receives a H from NADH allowing it to go back to Glycolysis to aid more production of ATP. Alcohol and ethanol
Lactic Acid Fermentation
After glycolosis, unlike Ethanol, Lactate/Lactic Acid does not lose and carbon atom but just gains an H atom which makes the pyruvate turn into Lactate/lactic acid. This Lactate can be converted back into pyruvate in the liver. then the pyruvate can enter krebs to proceed CR
are the amount of NAD+ limited in anaerobic pathwayhs?
yes and therefore this is significant because it makes NAD+ recycled and reused to process CR
What is fermentation in a nutshell
when H atoms are transferred to an organic molecule(pyruvate)
examples of Fermentation
bacteria production of beer
what is max percent of alcohol before yeast cells die
11-12%
What are the waste products In glycolosis of non living organisms
alcohol and co2
