Question

Existem dois tipos básicos de fermentação, ambos produzindo moléculas orgânicas como resíduo. Na fermentação alcoólica, realizada por fungos, como a levedura de cerveja, há produção de álcool etílico (C2H5OH); já na fermentação láctica, realizada pelas células musculares e pelas bactérias que azedam o leite, o resíduo produzido é o ácido láctico (C3H6O3). Sabendo-se que, nos dois processos, há produção de duas moléculas de cada uma dessas substâncias, é correto afirmar que: A

Answer 1

There are two basic types of fermentation, both of which produce organic molecules as waste. Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) is produced in alcoholic fermentation by fungi, such as brewer's yeast; In the case of lactic fermentation, it is carried out by muscle cells and by bacteria that sour milk, the residue produced is lactic acid (C3H6O3). Knowing that, in both processes, two molecules of each of these substances are produced, it is correct to affirm that: of the reagents such as carbohydrates or glucose that are based on carbonated molecules, produce acids or alcohols as a product.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fermentation of carbohydrates can then be said to give two possible routes as a product, the alcoholic route that when reacting a carbohydrate with an enzyme or another reagent gives an alcohol, and the acidic route where the carbohydrate reacts with another chemical compound and gives an acid.
