What are the products of alcohol fermentation?
Alcohol, Carbon Dioxide
What are the two main types of fermentation?
Alcohol and Lactic Acid
Order the steps involved in alcohol fermentation.
1️⃣ Yeast breaks down sugars
2️⃣ Alcohol is produced
3️⃣ Carbon dioxide is released
Bacteria in lactic acid fermentation produce
lactic
acid.
Match the microorganism with its fermentation type and product.
Bacteria ↔️ Lactic Acid Fermentation, Lactic Acid
Yeast ↔️ Alcohol Fermentation, Alcohol and CO₂
Why do anaerobic processes like fermentation yield less energy than aerobic respiration?
No oxygen is used
Which process yields more energy: fermentation or aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration
Lactic acid fermentation produces alcohol as a byproduct
False
Match the microorganism with its fermentation type and products:
Bacteria (e.g., *Lactobacillus*) ↔️ Lactic Acid Fermentation, Lactic Acid
Yeast (e.g., *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*) ↔️ Alcohol Fermentation, Alcohol and Carbon Dioxide
In yogurt production, bacteria ferment lactose into lactic
acid
What are the two main products of alcohol fermentation?
Alcohol, Carbon Dioxide
What is the role of yeast in alcohol fermentation?
Breaks down sugars
Fermentation is a type of anaerobic
respiration
Lactic acid fermentation produces only
lactic
acid.
Yeast is used in alcohol fermentation to produce alcohol and carbon
dioxide
.
Match the type of fermentation with its organism and products.
Alcohol Fermentation ↔️ Yeast, Alcohol and CO₂
Lactic Acid Fermentation ↔️ Bacteria, Lactic Acid
Both alcohol and lactic acid fermentation are anaerobic processes.
True
In alcohol fermentation, yeast breaks down sugars to produce alcohol and carbon
dioxide
.
In alcohol fermentation, yeast produces alcohol and carbon
