Alcoholic Fermentation
Alcoholic fermentaion occurs in yeast
end product is ethanol
the pyruvate molecules are broken down into ethyl alcohol molecules and carbon dioxide molecules
Lactic Acid Fermentaion
lactic acid fermentation occurs in the muscle cells
end product is lactic acid
the pyruvate molecules are broken down into lactic acid molecules only.
anaerobic, require no energy
produce small amounts of ATP
