What is the chemical equation of lactic acid fermentation?

Sagot :


Lactic acid fermentation is the conversion of sugars to lactic acid.  The fermentation of glucose to lactic acid is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH(OH)CO2HAlcoholic fermentation is the oxidation of sugars to produce ethanol and CO2.  This is used to produce beer and wine.  The fermentation of glucose to ethanol and CO2 is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of energy rich molecules without sufficient quantities of oxygen present.  In human muscles, it is the same equation-wise as lactic acid fermentation, which is C6H12O6 --> 2CH3CH(OH)CO2H.  Lactic acid requires oxygen to break it down further.
