Fermentation Fermentation starts with glycolysis, but it does not involve the latter two stages of aerobic cellular respiration the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Lactic Acid Fermentation Lactic acid fermentation is carried out by certain bacteria, including the bacteria in yogurt. Pros and Cons of Fermentation With oxygen, organisms can use aerobic cellular respiration to produce up to 36 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose. Feature: Myth vs. Reality Myth: lactic acid build-up can cause muscle fatigue and a burning sensation in muscles.
Review State the main difference between aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation. What is fermentation? Compare and contrast alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation.
Identify the major pro and the major con of fermentation relative to aerobic cellular respiration. What process is shared between aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation? Describe the process briefly. Why is this process able to occur in fermentation as well as aerobic respiration? Which type of metabolic process occurs in the human body? Lactic acid fermentation produces carbon dioxide. True or False. Types of bacteria can carry out alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
By breaking them down, you get a burst of energy that can help you finish a race or climb a staircase. However, lactic acid can build up in the muscles and create cramps. Lactic acidosis usually occurs because of exercise. It causes symptoms such as muscle aches, pain, cramps, nausea and weakness.
When there is too much lactic acid in the blood, lactic acidosis happens. Although intense workouts are the most common culprit, sometimes cancer, liver problems and medications can cause it. You can prevent lactic acidosis by exercising with less intensity and building up your stamina. In addition, drinking water and remembering to breathe while working out can help. If you notice the symptoms, remember to slow down and take a break. Lana Bandoim is a freelance writer and editor.
Describe the process human muscle cells use to release energy during strenuous exercise. Explain the benefits and the challenges of fermentation.
Compare and contrast fermentation and cellular respiration. Compare and contrast lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Essential Questions How do organisms generate energy when oxygen is not available?
How do humans use fermenting bacteria and yeast to generate useful products? Fermentation: An Introduction Pause for a moment and take a deep breath in. Glycolysis Fermentation is glycolysis followed by a process that makes it possible to continue to produce ATP without oxygen.
The following diagram summarizes glycolysis. Lactic Acid Fermentation Most organisms carry out fermentation through a chemical reaction that converts the pyruvate from glycolysis into lactic acid or lactate. The following diagram shows a summary of lactic acid fermentation. Many bacteria are also lactic acid fermenters.
For example, bacteria used in the production of cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream, and pickles are lactic acid fermenters. Yogurt and cheese both start with a source of sugar i. Then certain bacteria are added e.
The bacteria carry out lactic acid fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The bacteria convert the lactose sugar to glucose, which enters glycolysis and is followed by lactic acid fermentation. Many other pathogenic microorganisms are killed w hen the acidity rises due to lactic acid build up. Lactic acid also imparts a sharp, sour flavor typically associated with yogurt and sour cream.

Ethanol above 12 percent is toxic to yeast, so natural levels of alcohol in wine occur at a maximum of 12 percent. Anaerobic Cellular Respiration Certain prokaryotes, including some species of bacteria and Archaea, use anaerobic respiration. For example, the group of Archaea called methanogens reduces carbon dioxide to methane to oxidize NADH.
These microorganisms are found in soil and in the digestive tracts of ruminants, such as cows and sheep. Similarly, sulfate-reducing bacteria and Archaea, most of which are anaerobic Figure 4.
Concept in Action. Visit this site to see anaerobic cellular respiration in action. Other fermentation methods occur in bacteria. Many prokaryotes are facultatively anaerobic. This means that they can switch between aerobic respiration and fermentation, depending on the availability of oxygen. Certain prokaryotes, like Clostridia bacteria, are obligate anaerobes.
Obligate anaerobes live and grow in the absence of molecular oxygen.
