Detailed explanation-1: -This anaerobic condition is called alcoholic or ethanol fermentation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation breaks down glucose in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is the process of reducing pyruvate to either ethanol or lactate to regenerate NAD+ from NADH. Fermentation uses pyruvate as the acceptor of high energy electrons from NADH.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation is an enzyme catalysed, metabolic process whereby organisms convert starch or sugar to alcohol or an acid anaerobically releasing energy. The science of fermentation is called “zymology”.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -There are two main types of anaerobic respiration: Alcoholic fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation.
