What is Fermentation?

Answer 1

The process of conversion of Sugars into acid or alcohol is called Fermentation.

Yeast cells converts Glucose into alcohol in the absence of oxygen.

Answer 2

FERMENTATION

1)It is known as an the chemical breakdown of an compound like Glucose by the action of microbes such as bacteria or yeast.

2)Generally this term is reffered to as the conversion of Glucose into Lactic acid or ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) plus carbon dioxide and water.

This process was Discovered in 1857 by Loise Pasteur.

He actually proved this by the experiment of bacteria souring the milk, a process formerly thought to be a chemical change.This was very important process that has an crucial part in branch of Chemistry.

3)In this process complex substances are converted into simpler forms or substance.

4)There is basically 2 types of Fermentation=>

A) Alcoholic Fermentation

B)Lactic Acid Fermentation

5)It is actually an Anaerobic Respiration.An important way of making ATP without oxygen is called fermentation. It involves glycolysis, but not the other two stages of aerobic respiration.

Extra Information

1)Generally Glucose Breakdown is of 3 types =>

A)Two are Anaerobic breakdown

i) Breakdown in Yeast

ii) Breakdown in Human muscles.

B)Last in Aerobic breakdown

i) Breakdown in Human Cells.
