Just as muscle cells produce lactate/lactic acid as a byproduct of fermentation, yeast cells produce ethanol (an alcohol) as a byproduct of fermentation. If you do not limit the amount of carbohydrate input to a system, how would you expect the rate of fermentation by yeast cells to proceed over time and why.

When oxygen is not available, yeast cells can still do glycolysis to produce ATP. Under these conditions, why would yeast cells also need to do fermentation?
What is the primary difference between lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation? lactic acid produced CO2, whereas alcoholic fermentation does not alcoholic fermentation produces O2, whereas lactic acid does not alcoholic fermentation produces CO2, whereas lactic acid does not alcoholic fermentation is an aerobic process, whereas lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process
For cells that are capable of aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation, such as yeast cells, one pathway may be favored over the other in certain circumstances. Which of the following accurately describes an advantage of the fermentation pathway, when compared to aerobic cellular respiration? A) Fermentation is quicker because it does not involve glycolysis B)Fermentation can occur in the absence of oxygen (O2) C)Fermentation generates a higher amoung of ATP per glucose substrate D)Fermentation is less costly for the cell because it does not involve enzymes 10.
Fermentations yield only a fraction of the energy available from the complete combustion of glucose. Why is a relatively inefficient metabolic pathway so extensively used?
If fermentation is a fast easy way to get ATP without oxygen and without requiring complex organelles, then why is there a slow more complex process involving oxygen?
Fermentation permits the continued extraction of energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen. If glucose catabolism is anaerobic, why is fermentation necessary for glycolysis to continue?
In enzymatic hydrolysis, the bonds of starch are broken to obtain glucose. How does this process work? What kind of reaction occurs?
A new energy drink in stores contains no sugar, carbs or fat. It does, however, contain relatively high concentrations of B-vitamins (B-3, B-5, B-6, and B-12) which our digestive system does not break down. If our useable energy (ATP) is supplied by cellular respiration, where would the energy this products claims to provide come from?
You have isolated a heterotrophic bacterium from the soil that has a mutation in the enzyme aldose, making it unable to produce glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, or hydroxyacetone monophosphate. What consequences would this have on glycolysis? What other metabolic pathway could it use to produce energy? .Why? Explain the route you chose.
If the C-3 carbon of glucose were labeled with 14C, which of the carbon atoms in pyruvate would be labeled during glycolysis? Answer is just a number
Describe aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation. Indicate the total number of ATPs produced in each method of cellular respiration. Do any human cells carry out fermentation? If so, which cells? what kind of fermentation? and under what conditions?
draw in the structure of each metabolic intermediate in the glycolysis pathway in the figure above. In addition, fill in the missing enzymes from the picture above also, Which enzymes regulate glycolysis?
