Question

Name the products of lactic acid fermentation.

Answer 1

In homolactic fermentation, one molecule of glucose is ultimately converted to two molecules of lactic acid. Heterolactic fermentation, in contrast, yields carbon dioxide and ethanol in addition to lactic acid, in a process called the phosphoketolase pathway.


I hope help you

Answer 2

In Homolactic acid fermentation, the glucose is "converted to two molecules of lactic acid".

In Heterolactic acid fermentation yields "ethanol and carbon dioxide" as by-products, through a process of phosphoketolase pathway.

Explanation:

• Energy needs of the cells are being fulfilled by the breakdown of simple molecules such as glucose and is converted to pyruvate or pyruvic acid which is then broken down into the simpler by-products, one of which is lactic acid.
• Lactic acid fermentation is a process by which the muscle cells break down the pyruvic acid released during anaerobic respiration.
