Chapter 21.4, Problem 21.9Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The similarity between alcohol fermentation in yeast and lactate production in skeletal muscle has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The fermentation process is the catabolic process that occurs with no net oxidation. For example, the pyruvate or any compound generated from the pyruvate is reduced to form ${\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$, an oxidized form of NADH.
