The fermentation method used by animals and certain bacteria, like those in yogurt, is lactic acid fermentation Figure 2. This type of fermentation is used routinely in mammalian red blood cells and in skeletal muscle that has an insufficient oxygen supply to allow aerobic respiration to continue that is, in muscles used to the point of fatigue. In muscles, lactic acid accumulation must be removed by the blood circulation and the lactate brought to the liver for further metabolism.
The chemical reactions of lactic acid fermentation are the following:. The enzyme used in this reaction is lactate dehydrogenase LDH. The reaction can proceed in either direction, but the reaction from left to right is inhibited by acidic conditions. Such lactic acid accumulation was once believed to cause muscle stiffness, fatigue, and soreness, although more recent research disputes this hypothesis.
Once the lactic acid has been removed from the muscle and circulated to the liver, it can be reconverted into pyruvic acid and further catabolized for energy. Figure 2. Lactic acid fermentation is common in muscle cells that have run out of oxygen.
Tremetol, a metabolic poison found in the white snake root plant, prevents the metabolism of lactate. When cows eat this plant, it is concentrated in the milk they produce. Humans who consume the milk become ill. Symptoms of this disease, which include vomiting, abdominal pain, and tremors, become worse after exercise.
Why do you think this is the case? Figure 3. Fermentation of grape juice into wine produces CO 2 as a byproduct. Fermentation tanks have valves so that the pressure inside the tanks created by the carbon dioxide produced can be released. Another familiar fermentation process is alcohol fermentation Figure 3 that produces ethanol, an alcohol because of this, this kind of fermentation is also sometimes known as ethanol fermentation.
There are two main reactions in alcohol fermentation. The first reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase, a cytoplasmic enzyme, with a coenzyme of thiamine pyrophosphate TPP, derived from vitamin B1 and also called thiamine.

Instead, a different process must be used by their muscle cells to power their activity. The cells of living things power their activities with the energy-carrying molecule ATP adenosine triphosphate.
The cells of most living things make ATP from glucose in the process of cellular respiration. This process occurs in three major stages, and one intermediate stage: glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.
The latter two stages require oxygen, making cellular respiration an aerobic process. There are also other ways of making ATP from glucose without oxygen, such as anaerobic respiration and fermentation, of making ATP from glucose without oxygen.
Our cells do not perform anaerobic respiration. Therefore, we will only focus on fermentation in this section.
Fermentation starts with glycolysis, but it does not involve the latter two stages of aerobic cellular respiration the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The cells cannot make more than 2 ATP in fermentation because oxidative phosphorylation does not happen due to a lack of oxygen. There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
Our cells can only perform lactic acid fermentation; however, we make use of both types of fermentation using other organisms. The two pyruvate molecules are shown in this diagram come from the splitting of glucose through glycolysis. This process also produces 2 molecules of ATP.
Continued breakdown of pyruvate produces acetaldehyde, carbon dioxide, and eventually ethanol. Yeast in bread dough also uses alcoholic fermentation for energy and produces carbon dioxide gas as a waste product.
The carbon dioxide that is released causes bubbles in the dough and explains why the dough rises. The holes were formed by bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
Lactic acid fermentation is carried out by certain bacteria, including the bacteria in yogurt. It is also carried out by your muscle cells when you work them hard and fast. Again, two pyruvate and two ATP molecules result from glycolysis. Reduction of pyruvate using the electrons carried by NADH produces lactate i.
