What determines if a cell doing anaerobic respiration will produce lactic acid or ethanol?

SouravAugust 19, 2024

Answer

The type of fermentation that occurs depends on the organism and the availability of substrates. In animals and some microorganisms, anaerobic respiration typically produces lactic acid. In yeast and some bacteria, it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. The pathway is influenced by the type of cell and the conditions under which it operates.
