Answer 2

Answer:

The main difference between "homo fermentation" and "hetero fermentation" is as follows:

When, "one molecule of glucose" yields "two molecules of lactic acid" by the process of fermentation, then it is called homo fermentation or homolactic fermentation, whereas

When, "one molecule of glucose" yields "carbon dioxide and ethanol" along with "lactic acid" by the process of fermentation, which is done following a phosphoketolase pathway, then it is called hetero fermentation or heterolactic fermentation.
