Document Summary

Fermentation (can occur in the presence of o2) From 1 glucose molecule a net of 2 atp are produced. From 1 glucose molecule up to 38 atp are produced. Uses electron transport chain (etc) and atp synthase. Once electrons from nadh are passed to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid. Lactobacillus ferments lactose sugar in milk to produce lactic acid, this gives us. Once electrons are passed from nadh to pyruvate, pyruvate is reduced to alcohol and co2. Final e- acceptor may be an inorganic compound nitrate, ferric iron, sulfate or carbonate: in fermentation, the final electron acceptor is made by the cell from the electron donor. Pyruvate made from glucose): in respiration, the final electron acceptor is a compound found in the environment. Nadh and fadh2 (important- used in etc) Precursor metabolites (important: occurs during respiration, oxidized pyruvate completely to co2, only possible with inorganic electron acceptor, respiration produces more energy than fermentation.
