FERMENTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two main types of fermentation are called
A
alcoholic and aerobic
B
aerobic and anaerobic
C
alcoholic and lactic acid
D
lactic acid and anaerobic
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: -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-3: -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-4: -Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP. It is called anaerobic because it occurs in the absence of oxygen.
