Question

Name the substrate the main product and the by-products of fermentation

Answer 1

The two main types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactate fermentation (there are other types). Sugars are the most common substrate of fermentation, and typical examples of fermentation products are ethanol, lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen gas (H2).

Answer 2

Answer & explanation:

The two most important types of fermentation are latic fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

The lactic fermentation has pyruvic acid as its substrate, this reaction has as its end product the energy in the form of ATP and its byproduct is lactic acid.

In alcoholic fermentation, yeast and some bacteria ferment sugars(substrate), producing at the end of the fermentation reaction energy (ATP) as a final product, and as byproducts carbon dioxide and ethanol.
