2 Types of Fermentation | alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation |
Lactic Acid Fermentation | pyruvic acid converted to lactic acid, regenerate NAD+ so that glycosis can continue, occurs in muscles during exercise |
Lactic Acid Fermentation Process | pyruvic acid + NADH --> lactic acid + NAD+ |
Chemical Pathways | cells don't "burn" glucose |
Glycolysis (Energy Releasing Process) | process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3 carbon compound |
Alcoholic Fermentation Process | pyruvic acid + NADH --> alcohol + CO2 + NAD+ |
NAD+ | nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell, one of the reactions to glycolysis is that it removes 4 high-energy electrons and passes them to an electron carrier |
Alcohol Fermentation | used with yeasts and other microorganisms, forms ethyl alcohol and CO2 as wastes |
Glycosis | 6 Carbon --> 2 ATP/ADP --> 3 Carbon, 3 Carbon --> 4 ATP/ADP --> 2 Pyruvic Acid |
Fermentation | releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen, called anaerobic because no oxygen |
Cellular Respiration | the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen, Equation: 6O2 +C6H12O6 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy |
Electron Transport Chain | uses high e Electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP |
Krebs Cycle | pyruvic acid is broken into carbon dioxide in a series of e-extracting reactions |
Require Oxygen | Aerobic |
