Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: 1)Both alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid show similarities because they both are fermentation processes and both fermentation occurs in absence of oxygen. 2)The products obtained in the alcoholic fermentation of glucose and lactic acid fermentation of lactose are different.

Detailed explanation-2: -Similarities Between Lactic Acid and Alcoholic Fermentation Both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation do not require oxygen. Both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation occur in the cytosol. Both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation break down glucose molecules into two pyruvate molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. The similarity is that they both happen under anaerobic conditions and produce a little amount of ATP. The difference is that alcoholic fermentation gives CO2 while lactic acid does not.

Detailed explanation-4: -In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate from glycolysis changes to lactic acid. This type of fermentation is carried out by the bacteria in yogurt, and by your own muscle cells. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate changes to alcohol and carbon dioxide. This type of fermentation is carried out by yeasts and some bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Our cells can only perform lactic acid fermentation; however, we make use of both types of fermentation using other organisms.
