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: -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: -Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation are similar because they both need pyruvic acid and NADH to form. They are also similar because they both generate NAD+so that glycolysis can continue. But unlike Alcoholic Fermentation, Lactic Acid Fermentation does not give off carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The key difference between ethanol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation is that ethanol fermentation produces ethanol as a byproduct, whereas lactic acid fermentation produces lactate as a byproduct. Besides, ethanol fermentation has 29% efficiency whereas lactic acid fermentation has 41% efficiency.

Detailed explanation-4: -How are lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation similar? They have the same products. They have the same reactants. They both require oxygen.
