FERMENTATION Flashcards
1
Q
Fermentation
A
- Anaerobic (No O2)
- Cell’s cytoplasm
2
Q
What is fermentation?
A
Releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of O2
3
Q
What will limit the reaction of glycolysis in anaerobic conditions?
A
Conc. of NADH+
4
Q
During fermentation…
A
NADH goes back to NAD+ by giving e-s to pyruvic acid
recycles it back to glycolysis
5
Q
Alcoholic Fermentation
A
- forms ethyl alcohol and CO2 as wastes
- The 1st part of the equation is glycolysis
- The 2nd part is pyruvic acid converted to ethanol and CO2
6
Q
Lactic Acid Fermentation
A
- Product: Lactic Acid
- NADH –> NAD+
