Fermentation is breaking down glucose without any oxygen. But there is a more detailed and complete way of breaking down glucose and that is called cellular respiration. Aerobic respiration is when oxygen is used as the reactant, but an organic fuel is also used. Cellular respiration can have not anaerobic and aerobic processes. When one substance moves electrons completely to a whole different electron is called a redox reaction. When electrons are lost from one substance it is known as oxidation. However, reduction is when electrons are added to a substance. When aerobic respiration happens electrons are moved to NADH before anything else which reduces it, and eventually goes into and forms the Electron Transport Chain. After all this takes …show more content…
Acetyl CoA has a way of feeding itd group in the citric acid cycle and then it is able to go through oxidation. Cytochromes are proteins that is mainly left over between ubiquinone and oxygen. A lot of what is in the inner membrane of the mitochondria are a lot of copies of a protein known as ATP Synthase. This is what usually will make ATP to ADP, and is a enzyme. A process where energy is stored as a hydrogen ion across a membrane that helps with cellular work is known as Chemiosmosis. There are two known forms of fermentation and they are alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. When alcohol fermentation happens pyruvate is changed into ethanol by a two step process. When lactic acid fermentation happens pyruvate is being reduced by NADH which forms lactate as the end product and does not release any CO2. there are organisms that are called Obligate Anaerobes and they are only able to do fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Also, they do not live with oxygen. Other organisms are known as Facultative anaerobes that are able to make ATP to help them survive by using respiration or
