|
Before fermentation can occur,
|
|
water must be plentiful.
|
|
|
glycolysis must break down glucose into pyruvate.
|
|
|
glucose must form.
|
|
|
there must be an accumulation of carbon dioxide.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In glycolysis, glucose (C6) is split into two 3-carbon (C3) pyruvate molecules. This releases energy, which is transferred to ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some organisms, such as some bacteria, will undergo lactate fermentation. Two pyruvates are converted to two lactic acid molecules, which ionize to form lactate. In this process two NADH + H+ are converted to two NAD+. Our muscle cells can undergo this process when they are in oxygen debt.
