What happens during fermentation which gives rise to alcohol in the fermeted food?
During alcoholic fermentation sugars are converted into energy by yeast, Ethanol (drinking alcohol) and CO2 are produced as waste products in this reaction. Here is the chemical equation for the fermentation of the simple sugar glucose: C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2. C6H12O6 being glucose, C2H5OH being ethanol, and CO2 being carbon dioxide.
Fermentation products be distilled to produce liquors?
Yes. Distillation just separates the alcohol from the water, fermentation gives you the alcohol in the first place.
What type of fermentation has lactic acid as an end product?
Lactic acid fermentation. This type of fermentation occurs when your muscles need more oxygen for energy, so fermentation gives your muscles a little extra energy.
Is it false that the energy yield in aerobic respiration is far less than that which results from fermentation?
Fermentation gives you 2 net ATP per glucose... aerobic respiration gives you 36-38 net ATP per glucose... so aerobic gives you more energy than fermentation.
What happens during the ripening stage of cheese making?
it ages which gives more flavour
What does fermentation Cause?
Fermentation occurs when living cells present on the skin of fruit and vegetables break down the sugars inside. This fermentation causes a chemical change in the food which gives it a different taste.
What is the role of fermentation in baking bread?
Fermentation - creates bubbles of carbon dioxide... which causes the dough to rise, and gives bread light, open texture.
What happens DNA during sexual reproduction?
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
What happens to calcium's electrons during ionic bond?
Since calcium is a metal, it gives up electrons.
What happens to DNA during sexual reproduction?
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
What does yeast do in ginger beer?
because its the fermentation of the yeast that gives the beer alcohol.
Why fermentation gives less energy compare to aerobic respiration?
Fermentation releases less energy than respiration because it does not completely oxidize glucose. Fermentation does not utilize the Kreb Cycle or the electron transport system, leaving it with a gain of just 2 ATP from substrate level phosphorylation.
