Describe the similarities and differences between alcoholic fermentation carried out by yeast to make alcoholic beverages and lactate-acid fermentation carried out within the human body.

Alcohol fermentation is  metabolic process where by lactate and ATPs are produced during in absence of oxygen

Lactic Acid fermentation is a metabolic   process where by glucose is broken down to Alcohol, CO2 and energy(ATPs.  The C02 is the waste product.

Explanation:

Differences

Lactic acid fermentation is  straight  step  from Pyruvate  to Lactic acid

Alcoholic fermentation is a two way   step- pyruvate to ethanal  to ethanol

Endproducts  

Lactic acid fermentation ; lactase and Energy

Alcoholic fermentation- C02 , Alcohol and energy

Enzymes

Lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase are the enzymes of lactic acid fermentation reactions  

The two enzymes involved in alcoholic fermentation are; Pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase  

Similarities.

→The two processes  breakdown glucose to produce ATPs

→The main goal pf the two processes  is to recycle NAD+ so that the process of glycolysis will  not stop, but continues, for  the NAD+ to return and reduced  to NADH  in glycolysis.

→Both process are exergonic., gives out heat energy

→Both produce  the same number of ATPs,  4 ATPs  of glycolysis.

→Both takes place in absence of oxygen

→Both takes place in   Cystosol  of cytoplasm

→Both is preceded with glycolsysis.

is in the form atp or adenosine triphosphate
