Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which compounds are produced by the two main types of fermentation?
A
NAD+ or ATP
B
alcohol or lactic acid
C
glucose or carbon dioxide
D
ADP or ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid (i.e., lactate) fermentation occurs in some strains of bacteria and in skeletal muscle and produces lactic acid (i.e., lactate). Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcoholic fermentation is the basis for the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.
