Chapter 9: Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
jkellerbiologyportfolio.weebly.comThe electron acceptor in fermentation is an organic molecule such as pyruvate (in lactic acid fermentation) or acetaldehyde (in alcohol fermentation). 36. Explain how alcohol fermentation starts with glucose and yields ethanol. First, CO 2 released from the pyruvate is converted to the two-carbon compound acetaldehyde, which is reduced by
The Fermentation of Pyruvate - Purdue University
www.chem.purdue.edufermentation. Fermentation does not require oxygen and is therefore anaerobic. Fermentation will replenish NAD+ from the NADH + H+ produced in glycolysis. One type of fermentation is alcohol fermentation. First, pyruvate is decarboxylated (CO 2 leaves) to form acetaldehyde. Hydrogen atoms from NADH + H+ are then used to help convert acetaldehyde
