2 About Fermentation… Fermentation: conversion of sugars and starches to alcohol through enzymes Fermentation: happens in cytoplasm What happens?: large organic molecules; broken down into simpler molecules by microorganisms.

3 What are the two types of fermentation? Alcohol or Ethanol Fermentation Lactic Acid Fermentation Fermentation occurs from Anaerobic respiration (no oxygen required)

4 Alcoholic Fermentation What happens? glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acid. 2 pyruvic acid split into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Happens in a yeast cell or bacterium.

5 Lactic Acid Fermentation Occurs in animal muscle cells when they get overly fatigued. Glucose splits into 2 pyruvic acids. 2 pyruvic acids splits into lactic acid.

6 What does Fermentation do? Fermentation is a process of energy production in the cell. Glucose undergoes fermentation- this is how we get beer, pickles, and wine.
