When oxygen is not present, the products of glycolysis are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
FERMENTATION:
- Fermentation is the process whereby a cell anaerobically (absence of oxygen) generates ATP (energy) using the products of glycolysis.
- Fermentation is undergone by anaerobic (facultative or obligate) organisms or when oxygen is not sufficient for aerobic respiration.
- Fermentation converts pyruvate, which is a product of glycolysis into ethanol (C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide gas (CO2).
- Therefore, when oxygen is not present, the products of glycolysis are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
