Notes from NEET topper

Alcoholic Fermentation:

  • Alcoholic fermentation is another type of anaerobic respiration.

  • It is primarily used by yeast cells and some microorganisms.

  • Pyruvate, generated in glycolysis, is converted into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide.

  • This process is important in the production of alcoholic beverages like wine and beer, as well as in bread-making.

  • It also regenerates NAD+ for glycolysis to proceed.
