What is alcohol fermentation? Show the net reaction of anaerobic glucose catabolism in yeast. Compare the total ATP outputs of anaerobic vs. aerobic glucose catabolism.

Expert Solution

Answer - alcohol fermentation occurs in oxygen deficient conditions or anaerboic cellular respiration in yeast . The end product pyruvate is directed to produce ethanol for energy .

Whereas in caerobic respiration pyruvate isditectrd to form acetyl co A to enter ktebs cycle.

The net equation is -

The net energy yeild of aerobic cellular respiration is 36-38 ATP and that of anaerobic respiration is 2ATP.

In aerobic respiration 2 ATP is produced in glycolysis , 2NADH in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction , 6 ATP , electron transport chain produces 28 ATP

Aerobic respiration is a more efficient pathway of energy generation.

If this helps please give it a positive rating thank you!

Yeast make alcohol in the absence of oxygen by a process called fermentation (i.e., anaerobic respiration). Complete fermentation of one of the sugar glucose (C6 H12 O6) will generate two moles of ethanol (C2 H6 O), two moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, and tow moles of the important molecule ATP (C10 H16 N5 O13 P3), using in cellular transfers. You perform an experiment to make alcohol, so you set up an anaerobic fermentation system using yeast. You add 135...

A.) In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under the following conditions? A cell-free yeast extract is placed in a solution that contains 325 mmol glucose, 0.35 mmol ADP, 0.35 mmol Pi, 0.70 mmol ATP, 0.20 mmol NAD , and 0.20 mmol NADH. It is kept under anaerobic conditions. (answer in mmol) B.) Under the same conditions, what is the theoretical minimum amount...

3. Ethanol can be produced by the fermentation of glucose in the presence of yeast according to the following chemical reaction: C6H12O6 -----> 2C2H5OH+2CO2 The feed to the fermenter (not the fresh feed) is 130 mol/s and is 88.1mol% glucose and 11.9 mol% yeast (consider the yeast to be a non-consumable catalyst). The single pass conversion of glucose is 18.6%. The mixed stream exiting the fermenter is passed through a separator that produces a CO2 stream and an ethanol product...

Anaerobic fermentation is carried in a bioreactor where glucose (C6H12O6) is digested to form the products ethanol (C2H5OH) and propenoic acid (C2H3CO2H). The product stream is analyzed and found to contain 96.5 mole % water, 1.34 mole % C2H5OH, 0.79 mole % C2H3CO2H, 1.12 mole % CO2 and 0.25 mole % C6H12O6. Given the specific gravity of ethanol is 0.789. a. Calculate the mass fraction of each compound and the average molecular weight of the product stream mixture. b. Determine...
