Question

During fermentation, how do changes to a molecule of pyruvic acid to lactic acid or ethyl alchol contribute to

the formation of ATP?

Answer 1

Some organisms, such as some bacteria, will undergo lactate fermentation. Two pyruvates are converted to two lactic acid molecules, which ionize to form lactate. In this process two NADH + H+ are converted to two NAD+. Our muscle cells can undergo this process when they are in oxygen debt.
