q what are the two kind of fermentation what are


Q. What are the two kind of fermentation? What are their complete chemical equations?

The two major types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic fermentation.

In alcoholic fermentation pyruvic acid, an intermediate molecule is converted into ethanol with liberation of carbon dioxide. The alcoholic fermentation chemical equation is as follows:

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

In lactic fermentation pyruvic acid is transformed into lactic acid with no production of carbon dioxide. The lactic fermentation chemical equation is:

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