Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two type of fermentation are alcohol and ____ acid fermentation.
A
lactic
B
sulfuric
C
hydrochloric
D
acetic
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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid fermentation is a metabolic process by which some bacteria produces lactic acid from pyruvic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is a biochemical process by which sugar is converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by some bacteria and yeast.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main types of lactic acid fermentation: homolactic and heterolactic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation), that generates energy in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in certain types of animal cells and bacterial species, and it earns its name because of the lactic acid it produces as a byproduct.
