What is the relationship between glycolysis and fermentation?
|
Glycolysis leads to fermentation if no oxygen is available. NAD+ produced by fermentation allows glycolysis to continue.
|
|
|
Summarize the process of alcoholic fermentation in yeast?
|
Sugars are broken down by glycolysis. Pyruvate and NADH enter alcoholic fermentation producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. NAD+ is recycled back to glycolysis.
|
|
|
How are lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation similar? How are they different?
|
Both are anaerobic processes that break down glucose to make ATP and recycle NAD+ to glycolysis.
Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. |
|
|
Describe the similarities and differences between cellular respiration and fermentation.
|
Both produce ATP through the breakdown of carbon based molecules, and both allow glycolysis to continue by recycling electron acceptors.
Cellular Respiration requires oxygen and produces much more ATP than fermentation. |
