9.5 types of fermentation Flashcards
1
Q
alcohol fermentation
A
pyruvate converted to ethanol --1 CO2 released from pyruvate and is converted to acetaldehyde 2- acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol NAD+ is produced
2
Q
lactic acid fermentation
A
pyruvate is reduced to make lactate
- no release CO2
- lactate is converted back to pyruvate in the liver
