ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION (Activity 3) Flashcards
The 3 products of fermentation are
atp, ethanol, carbon dioxide
The conversion of carbohydrate such as sugar into an acid or alcohol
fermentation
Fermentation that uses yeast is
alcoholic fermentation
Fermentation converts carbohydrate into
acid or alcohol
Enzymes involved in fermentation
maltase, protease, hydrolase
This process takes place under ____ such as in the absence of
oxygen liberating a small amount of energy.
anaerobic conditions
The first step involves the decarboxylation of pyruvate from ___ to
acetaldehyde acted by the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase.
glycolysis
The second step is the reduction of acetaldehyde which is catalyzed by alcohol
dehydrogenase producing ____ and ____ as the end products.
ethanol and carbon dioxide
Galactose
fermented with difficulty
glucose, fructose, sucrose
easily fermented
xylose, starch, lactose
not fermented at all
maltose = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
C12H22O11
How much energy is released by fermentation?
Less than seven percent of the energy or two moles of carbon dioxide + two moles of ethanol = two moles of ATP
