Answer:

Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation are two types of anaerobic respiration methods. Therefore, both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation do not require oxygen. The main difference between lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation is that lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid molecules from pyruvate whereas alcoholic fermentation produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation of yeast is used in the food industry to produce wine and beer. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the muscle cells when they are run out of oxygen

The major difference between lactic acid and alcohol fermentation is that CO_2 is produced in alcohol fermentation, but not in the case of lactic acid.

  • Both lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation are two types of methods of anaerobic respiration and so none of them require oxygen for the respective processes.
  • The main difference between lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation is that there is no release of carbon dioxide (CO_2) in lactic acid but, it is produced in the fermentation of alcohol.
  • Lactic acid fermentation is an important part of our body as it is produced when our body runs out of oxygen.
