Presentation Transcript

  1. Fermentation • Oxygen is not present • Convert pyruvic acid into other compounds • Occurs in the cytosol • Does not produce ATP • Does regenerate NAD+, which allows for the continued production of ATP through glycolysis

  2. Cellular Respiration Versus Fermentation

  3. Fermentation – 2 Types • Lactic Acid Fermentation • enzyme converts pyruvic acid into another three-carbon compound, called lactic acid

  4. Fermentation

  5. Fermentation • Alcoholic Fermentation • Convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol and CO2 • Some plants and unicellular organisms, such as yeast

  6. Two Types of Fermentation

  7. Comparing Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
