Fermentation allows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen.

Fermentation allows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen. Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable. Fermentation is an anaerobic process. occurs when oxygen is not available for cellular respiration does not produce ATP.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Fermentationallows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen.

  2. Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue making ATP when oxygen is unavailable. • Fermentation is an anaerobic process. • occurs when oxygen is not available for cellular respiration • does not produce ATP

  3. There are two types of fermentation • Lactic Acid Fermentation • Alcoholic Fermentation

  4. Lactic Acid Fermentation occurs in muscles cells

  5. Lactic acid fermentation • glycolysis splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules • pyruvate and NADH enter fermentation • energy from NADH converts pyruvate into lactic acid • NADH is changed back into NAD+ • NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis

  6. Alcoholic Fermentation used in food production • yogurt • cheese • bread • beer

  7. Alcoholic fermentation is similar to lactic acid fermentation. • glycolysis splits glucose and the products enter fermentation • energy from NADH is used to split pyruvate into an alcohol and carbon dioxide • NADH is changed back into NAD+ • NAD+ is recycled to glycolysis
