comes from sugar beets or sugarcane
made up of glucose and fructose and found in plants
Back
homolactic fermentation
Front
the production of lactic acid
- the simplest type of fermentation
- one of the only respiration processes that doesn't produce a gas
Back
reducing sugars
Front
Sugars that produce a red precipitate when boiled with Benedict's solution. E.g. glucose, maltose, fructose, lactose.
Back
glycolysis
Front
the breaking down of glucose and forming of pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP
Back
heterolactic fermentation
Front
the production of lactic acid as well as other acids and alcohols
Back
ethanol fermentation
Front
the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide
- also called alcoholic fermentation
- glycolysis takes place before this
Back
citric acid cycle
Front
a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphospate (ATP)
- also known as the Krebs Cycle
Back
aerobic respiration
Front
the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
Back
glucose
Front
monosaccharide found in honey, fruits, and vegetables
Back
fructose
Front
a monosaccharide found in fruits and honey
Back
zymology
Front
an applied science which studies the biochemical process of fermentation and its practical uses
Back
lactose
Front
disaccharide found in milk, made from glucose and galactose
Back
fermentation
Front
naturally occurring chemical reaction by which food is converted into another form by pathogens
- the process by which food "goes bad"
Back
non-reducing sugars
Front
Sugars that do not react with Benedict's solution (sucrose, trehalose)
