Fermentation
The process of energy production in the absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic Respiration
A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, utilizing fermentation pathways.
Glycolysis
The initial process of breaking down glucose to produce ATP, used in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Net Gain of ATP
In fermentation, the process yields a net gain of 2 ATP from glycolysis.
Alcoholic Fermentation
A fermentation process utilized by yeast and some microorganisms, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Products of Alcoholic Fermentation
Alcohol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+ are produced from pyruvic acid via alcoholic fermentation.
Lactic Acid Fermentation
The most common type of fermentation in living organisms under low oxygen conditions, producing lactic acid.
Products of Lactic Acid Fermentation
Lactic acid and NAD+ are produced from pyruvic acid in lactic acid fermentation.
