Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation similar?
A
They have the same products
B
They have the same reactants
C
They both require oxygen
D
They occur in the same organisms
Explanation: 

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: -What are the reactants and products for lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation? the reactants for both fermentations are pyruvic acid and NADH and the products for alcoholic fermentation is alcohol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. the products for lactic acid fermentation is lactic acid and NAD+.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation generates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which reactant(s) do they have in common? The two types of fermentation include alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Both of these processes use pyruvic acid, which is formed by glycolysis, as reactants.

Detailed explanation-5: -The reactants of alcoholic fermentation are sugars such as glucose and fructose. The products of alcoholic fermentation are ethanol, carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Some bacteria and yeast conduct alcoholic fermentation.
