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.
