Expert

Verified

The two main kinds of fermentation are lactic fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

In alcoholic fermentation pyruvic acid, an intermediate molecule is transformed into ethanol with release of carbon-dioxide. The alcoholic fermentation equation is shown below:

C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + P --> 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + 2 ATP

In lactic fermentation pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid and there is no production of carbon-dioxide. The lactic fermentation equation is shown below:

C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + P --> 2 C3H5OOH + 2 ATP
