  2. Fermentation • Fermentation enables some cells to produce ATP without the use of oxygen (O2) • Cellular respiration • Relies on oxygen to produce ATP • In the absence of oxygen • Cells can still produce ATP through fermentation

  3. Cellular respiration vs. fermentation Oxygen Present → Aerobic Respiration (efficient!) Oxygen NOT Present → Fermentation (not efficient) Respiration = 66% efficient Fermentation = 3.5% efficient

  4. Fermentation • If there is no oxygen present (anaerobic) the pyruvate (from glycolysis) goes to fermentation • The main goal of fermentation is: • To make NAD+to put back into glycolysis • This makes NO ATPon its own (it just keeps glycolysis going so that it can make 2 ATP at a time) • Occurs in the cytosol • 2 types of fermentation • 1) Alcohol • 2) Lactic acid

  5. Glycolysis • Can produce ATP with or without oxygen, in aerobic or anaerobic conditions • Couples with fermentation to produce ATP

  6. Types of Fermentation • Fermentation consists of • Glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate NAD+, which can be reused by glyocolysis

  7. Alcohol Fermentation • Pyruvate is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol) in two steps, one of which releases CO2 • Ex: bacteria and yeast

  8. In alcohol fermentation • Pyruvate is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol) in two steps, one of which releases CO2 GLUCOSE PyruvateEthanol and CO2 • Ex: bacteria and yeast do this

  9. Alcoholic Fermentation • Pyruvate is turned into ethanol • CO2 is released (bubbles!) • Done by yeast for brewing Remember: Goal is to produce NAD+ to send back to glycolysis so it can keep going and produce more ATP 3C Pyruvate → 2C Ethanol

  10. Lactic Acid Fermentation • During lactic acid fermentation • Pyruvate is reduced directly to NADH to form lactate as a waste product • NO CO2 is released • Ex #1: fungus and bacteria in dairy industry to make cheese/ yogurt • Ex #2: Human muscle cells

  11. - Pyruvate is turned into Lactate (or lactic acid) • Lactate is eventually carried away by the blood to the liver where it gets converted back into pyruvate • Example: Muscle Cells • The lactic acid is what makes your muscles sore after lifting or intensive exercise • No CO2 is released Lactic acid fermentation Remember: Goal is to produce NAD+ to send back to glycolysis so it can keep going and produce more ATP 3C Pyruvate → 3C Lactate

  12. Lactic acid vs. alcohol fermentation Similarities: 1. Both start with pyruvate from glycolysis 2. Both create NAD+ to be sent back to glycolysis 3. Neither make any ATP on their own Differences: 1. Lactic acid is made and does NOT give off CO2 2. Alcohol makes ethanol and gives off CO2

  13. Fermentation - Overview Obligate Aerobes → needs oxygen; can do respiration only Obligate Anaerobes → can’t have oxygen; fermentation only Facultative Anaerobes → can live with or without oxygen; prefer oxygen b/c more efficient Respiration is 19 times more efficient than fermentation (38 ATP vs. 2 ATP)

  15. Fermentation and Cellular Respiration Compared • Both fermentation and cellular respiration • Use glycolysis to oxidize glucose and other organic fuels to pyruvate • Fermentation and cellular respiration • Differ in their final electron acceptor • Cell respriraition uses O2 • Fermentation uses NAD+ • Cellular respiration • Produces more ATP (~36-38 ATP) • Fermentation • Produces 2 ATP per cycle
