Select the incorrectly matched pair.A. End products of alcoholic Ethanol fermentation - `+CO_(2)`B. End products of lactic acid fermentation - Lactic acid `+CO_(2)`C. Glycolysis -CytoplasmD. Key product of glycolysis - Pyruvic acid |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Lactic acid fermentation occurs in lactic acid bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus), some fungi and muscles. In lactic acid fermentation, pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis is directly reduced by NADH to form lactic acid. No `CO_(2)` is produced. The enzyme is lactate dehydrogenase which requires FMN and `Zn^(2+)` `"Pyruvic acid + NADH" underset(FMN,Zn^(2+))overset("Lactose dehydrogenase")(rarr) "Lactic acid + NAD"^(+)` |
